[kictanet] Jadili the Proposed Kenya's Film, Stage Plays and Publications Law

[Mose Karanja]

I just received a call from the Kenya Film Classification Board to suspend public activity on the proposed law on jadili until such a time when the issues raised will be ironed out. 

This is clearly a positive move for the country.

This, we think, is a progressive path to constructive public participation as it avoids the general good/bad dichotomy while giving the drafters much more insight into which parts of the Bill need revision.
