[kictanet] Day 3: FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMISSION

[waudo siganga]

I am having a problem putting together some aspects of this bill.
For example one of the functions of the current CCK is
dealing with the ITU. Now the ITU is an Inter-Governmental
Organization under the UN. This means that the CCK works with the
ITU on behalf of the Kenya Government. Decisions in the ITU are
taken by voting with each country having one vote. CCK has to
vote according to the instructions it receives from the
Government of Kenya. How do we tie this aspect with the earlier
requirement that the new commission "is independent of control by
government".

And just for better understanding, what is the role of the
National Communications Secretariat? The CCK has been working not
only with the ITU but with other entities like ICANN and the IGF
to FORMULATE policy while its role should have been limited to
IMPLEMENTING policy. Will the new ICCK continue policy
formulation function?

Hi Listers,
Today we move to SECTION 4 of the Draft Bill discussing the
FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMISSION

In my view the key issues for discussion are:


a) That the Commission must perform duties imposed upon the
former Commission by or under the Act?


b) The Commission may exercise and continue the exercise of the
powers conferred upon the former Commission by or under the Act;


Question: What is your take on this? In addition, is there any
major difference between the two issues?


Note: The other issues have to do with the Commission acting
subject to Chapter 4 of the Constitution and subject to the
Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (please refer to the Bill for
further emphasis).

If you have anything else on the other 2 days please send but
with the right subject header so we do not confuse issues for
those collating comments.

Best Regards, Nyaki
