I strongly support the inclusion of Information Technology as one of the key 
experience fields /professions from which Commissioners may be selected.

On appointments of Commissioners, it says on Pg5, that they should:

(ii) possess suitable qualifications, expertise and experience in the fields of, 
amongst others, broadcasting telecommunications , law, , media, and economics, 
or
any other related expertise or qualifications.

I know we cannot fit in ALL the relevant professions but methinks leaving out IT 
(Information Technology) would be quit a loud gap considering this commission is 
supposed a converged commission that put together Media, IT and Telecoms.

Thanks Walu,

I will try and respond to what I can and hope others with more expertise can 
chip in.
Are you suggesting that WHO gets appointed is not as critical as the 
representative structure of the Commissioners? I do not want to deliberate more 
on that without taking sides as I also have an opinion and may understand where 
you are coming from. 


Yes this new Draft Bill does outline the representative structure of the persons 
to be appointed to the Commission in Section 5(3) b. ii Persons who....."possess 
suitable qualifications, expertise and experience in the fields of, amongst 
others, broadcasting, telecommunications, law, media and economics, or any other 
related expertise or qualifications" (I have ignored some of the obvious 
editorial errors which are mostly punctuation and an
Editor can sweep through this).

We will discuss terms of Office tomorrow but suffice it to say that the 
Chairperson will hold Office for 5 years and a Commissioner for 2 terms. Lets 
revisit this kesho. 


[AN ASIDE: Walu, you are my friend...and I know you like reading....si you read 
this Bill please...it is in the Ministry website 
http://www.information.go.ke/index2.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=19&Itemid=37


and it will answer a number of your queries. It is not very long:-)))].

Best Regards,
Nyaki
