[kictanet] Proposed Film Bill

This has become the norm in Kenya now. The trend has become to licence activities which never used to be licensed.
I remember the Science, Technology and Innovation Act of 2015 (I think) which became law and requires licences for any kind of research. In other words, you cannot do research as part of your business without getting a licence.
There was an attempt to form the Kenya Accreditation Agency (another privately sponsored bill by Hon. Duale) which failed.
We recently had ICT Practitioners Bill which flopped.
(I’m sure there are many others which do not directly impact me.)
Now this… it’s copy cat scheme to privatise rights.
