[kictanet] Media council Draft bill 2010 (Day Three--Summary)

[Grace Githaiga]

Thanks Racheal and all who contributed to today's debate. 
 
These are the concerns were were able to deduce in today's discussion:

 
1.      Should the media council consist solely of journalists and media
professionals? 
 
2.      If the MCK should consist of diverse professionals, which particular
ones? And should there be a minimum number of media professionals in a
multi-disciplinary MCK? Suggestions that five of seven then should be drawn from media.
 
3.      The need for clear affirmative action where a third of the seven should be women / men who meet those requirements.
 
4.      MCK Members may not be state officers but should prescribe to leadership and integrity principles as stated in chapter 6 of the Constitution
 
5.      It is difficult to measure/quantify a distinguished career.
