[kictanet] Why Cofek resigned from Government's Digital Television Committee on July 11

[Kivuva]

Thanks Grace for this information. It's indeed sad to see that
different factions are moving in different directions as we move
towards complete migration to digital TV.

Since the consumer representative doesen't necessarily have to come
from COFEK, where else did the ministry fish the representative? In my
view, the different civil society movements that are geared towards a
free society like ISOC, COFEK, KICTANET, e.t.c should have fronted a
name to represent the common Mwananchi's interests at the CCK board.

Honesty is very important when dealing with this issue and Machavelian
tactics might not win.

Regards
