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

[Catherine Adeya]

Grace,

Thanks for your comments...do not know what the rest feel about this. By the way 
do not that the Object of the Act was actually the discussion for Day 1 but we 
will ensure your comment falls under the right place.

Nyaki

I think Wamuyu had raised the concern of which body (ICCK or the Media 
Council) is envisaged in article 34 (5) of the Constitution. 

 
Having read the article, and having consulted with the a media lawyer Henry 
Maina, the Director of Article 19, that envisaged body is the Media Council 
which will in 5 (c) set media standards and regulate and monitor compliance with 
those standards.
 
This being the last day of this debate, and in which I believe we can make any 
comments on any of the sections discussed, I  will reiterate that article 2 of 
the ICCK 2010 (Object of the Act) be deleted as it belongs to the Media Council.

of Kenya"
 
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
