[kictanet] DAY 10: The Name "The Independent Communications Commission of Kenya"

[Catherine Adeya]

Muriuki,

Thanks, actually the summary below is literally verbatim from Mr Wangusi hence 
the reference, and yes a few others raised it including Barrack, McTim and 
Wamuyu. Wamuyu specifically said "The Constitution, to my recollection, refers 
to only one media regulatory body. So which is it - CCK or Media Council?" 


So the legal minds out there and others who may know the response, how do we 
handle this.

Nyaki

Dear Listers,
 
Today is the final day on the discussions on the Independent Communications 
Commission of Kenya Bill 2010.  I think it would be worthwhile to revisit a 
concern Mr Wangusi raised on the first day.He was concerned that in the new 
Constitution -- specifically  in Chapter 15, Clause 248 (1&2) which establishes 
Commissions in this country -- the ICCK name does not appear to be among those 
listed. So is this title in contravention of the Constitution and should we 
suggest another name like “Communications Regulatory Authority of Kenya” or 
something like that. 

 
We would appreciate your thoughts.
 
Best Wishes,
 
Nyaki
