Hi Catherine
I have been struggling about the power structure in the proposed ICCK and how
to demarcate the spheres of influence to ensure an efficient and effective ICCK
and have problems
On one hand we have commissioners appointed who collectively have a wide
range of expertise Section 5 (3)(b)(1)(ii ) – Is this how to refer to the
sections - and are fulltime Sec 7 (6) . This suggest that they will be
literally in the ICCK premises and it can be expected that strategic and
policy activities cannot keep the commissioners busy all the time. On the
other hand is a full time DG Section 14(1) who ASSISTS the ICCK and under
the direction and control of the commission.
Two issues
- The commissioners are not busy enough as full time commissioners and
will certainly go below the realm of the strategy and policy and really reduce
the power of a DG to be a chief operating officer. This is not desirable
- By not allowing the DG to attend the meetings of the commission it
makes it even more necessary for the commissioners to meddle into operational
matters
Suggestions
State explicitly that the DG attends meetings of the ICCK as an ex-official
member and the role is NOT assist but execute the decisions of the ICCK
Cheers

Dear Kictanet List Members,
Muriuki, Walu, Matunda, GG, Barrack, Vitalis, Kerubo.....thank you for your
contributions these last two days. I believe others are gearing up for this last
week of discussions. Day 5 and 6 have had very similar summaries and as such I
do not want to be repetitive. Therefore, I will keep this short. Today we begin
the discussion on:
SECTION 14: STAFF TO THE COMMISSION.
14(1)(a) The Commission shall appoint a Director-General.
14 (2) Shall appoint staff by ensuring equal opportunity employment practices
and represents cross-section of population in Kenya
Question: Your thoughts on this? Would you like to see more clarity on gender
issues, people with disabilities etc. please clarify and elaborate.
I look forward to reading your contributions.
Best,
Nyaki
