[kictanet] Proposed Film Bill

[waudo siganga]

Interesting.
 
1. I thought a KFCB already existed, or which is that one of Mutau who
   has been having problems with US visa and suppressing and opposing
   LGBT rights and atheists?
2. It's like an afterthought that someone decided to throw in the
   computer games. Is one supposed to obtain a licence to write or
   create these games like with films. The part of the document that
   deals with films and stage plays substantively does not deal with
   computer games.
3. The part about ISPs is thrown in by someone who is completely
   ignorant. ISPs do not deal with content; they don't even see it
   (and they should not!). An ISP is just a conduit or facilitator. Do
   these people expect an ISP to employ people to screen content of
   their clients?
4. If we are not careful Kenya will start going backwards as more people
   come up with all kinds of proposed legislation; what is there to stop
   film makers moving to neighbouring countries and taking all those
   jobs with them?
5. Speak up!
