[kictanet] Media council Draft bill 2010 (Day Five Summary--tenure of office of Council members )

[Grace Githaiga]

Thanks Toby, Erick, Racheal and Solomon for your contributions last friday. This is what we have been able to summarize from your thoughts. 
 
1.      Integrate/merge section 7 and 10 for clarity, as there is some duplication and to some extent contradiction.
2.      MCK members be allowed to elect own chair and remove the requirement for the chair to be eligible for appointment as a High Court judge.
3.      The Chair can be reappointed but this must be done through a re-election to avoid domination and 'over-stays'.
4.      Election should be by secret ballot by the Council Members.
5.      The government reserved a third of positions in public bodies to women. Does this mean out of the seven members appointed (Article 6), three should be women? If so, just wondering, will the other interested groups - the disabled, marginalized, youth etc - be considered?
 
Warm Regards
Grace
