[kictanet] Fw: TESPOK demands involvement in Communication Act 1998 amendments

Tue Nov 17 10:57:33 EAT 2015

By the way, is the Current Chair of Parliaments Energy and
Communications Commitee on this list? Better still we need to invite
some of the members in that commitee to join the list since there is
little room for public engagement due to their hectic schedule. TESPOK
is right to demand for consultations.

Best Regards
