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 
 
 
cheers

Subject: [kictanet] Day 7: SECTION 14: STAFF TO THE COMMISSION
 
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
