[kictanet] Digital Migration Appeal Court Ruling: COFEK Response

[Lucy Kimani]

A day full of erroneous decisions, what with a Court that
does not seem to recognize when they are over-stepping, irrespective of whether you agree with the ruling or not, how is it that a court
can decide to issue licences, and orders this be issued without any competitive
bidding contrary to Article 227 of the Constitution, which demands
transparency, fairness and competition in public procurement... While on the other hand a CAK that can be bullied to approve acquisitions in an anti-competitive move mostly due to a very clear conflict of interest... and I wont even get into the "Consumer" outfit that seems to be mixed up confusing "consumer rights" with "media rights" ... 
I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Allegedly, Pan Africa Network Group's license has also been revoked - after they had invested millions in setting up a distribution network. 

So how does this play out? http://www.techweez.com/2014/03/28/commandeer-digital-migration-pangs-license-nullified-cofek-kenyas-media-owners-association-jump-joy/
