[kictanet] Media council Draft bill 2010 (Day Three--Composition of Council )

[Grace Githaiga]

Thanks Murigi, Solomon and KK.
 
Both Solomon and KK seem to propose on the members of the industry belonging to the Council (Council Members). 
Earlier on, on day one, Hook had wanted to know whether KUJ and Religious bodies are included in the Council membership.   
 
Murigi, your point on social conservatism is noted. But would NACADA serve a purpose viz a viz their mandate? You also raise a pertinent question: who in the Council would  ensure that content is educational? I have no answer but will request listers to suggest to us.
 
Once again listers, these are the proposed fields that will comprise council members. What's your take? 
 
i) Law
ii) Journalism
iii) Finance
iv) Gender and human rights
v) Performing arts; or
vi) Advertising.
 
Questions: 
 · Should other professions be considered?

 · Is gender and human rights relevant in this list considering there is mention of one belonging to a professional body?

· And is it necessary to actualize gender balance? If so, how?
 · Out of the seven council members (article 6), are there some who are critical and must be represented in the Council?
 
 
(d) Meets the requirements of chapter six of the Constitution
 
Question:
 
Chapter six of the constitution is on leadership and integrity and relates to state officers. Is there an assumption then that the council members will be considered state officers? Is this section necessary?

(e) Has had a distinguished career in their respective fields. 
 
 
Question: *How workable is this?

Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Rgds

Grace
