Dear Listers,

After a healthy and heated debate on the Media Council Bill 2010, next week
(on Valentine's day to be exact) we will move on to the following
discussion:

Topic: The Independent Communications Commission of Kenya Bill 2010

Venue: Here on the KICTANET list

Participants: You

Duration: Mon.14 th Feb - Fri. 25 Feb. 2010 

I have decided to send out this notice early enough so you have time to
download the Bill and read it. The Bill has four main Chapters:

 CHAPTER I : INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS: Definitions etc.

 CHAPTER II: INDEPENDENT COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION OF KENYA: Establishment
of the Independent Communications Commission of Kenya.

CHAPTER III: COMMITTEES

CHAPTER IV: TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS: Transfer of Staff

FIRST SCHEDULE: LAWS AMENDED OR REPEALED

                                          : MEMORANDUM OF OBJECTS AND
REASONS

 

However, we will focus our discussions mainly on Chapter II, III and IV for
obvious reasons.

You can access 'The Independent Communications Commission of Kenya (ICCK)
Bill' at the Ministry of Information and Communications website:
<http://www.information.go.ke/> http://www.information.go.ke/

 To be more exact you can find it at:

<http://www.information.go.ke/index2.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid
=19&Itemid=37> &task=doc_view&gid=19&Itemid=37

The ten day discussions will focus on critical and gnawing issues. We will
summarize the discussions as we go along.
