<o:p></o:p>The last one week has been preoccupied with talk of the media bill (Media Council bill) and the implications it has on the media.<br><br>i will therefore not dwell on the details about monkeys and loaded guns because the slogan-loaded tirades were traded in public.<o:p> </o:p> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Beyond the media bill, there is the KCA (98) amendment bill which went through first reading last week.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p>But what are we hearing? It�s all about the media and cross ownership. The grievances the media has and how the government wants to regulate or gag it.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p>What about other aspects of ICT? Is the media council bill wholly wrong? How comes the KCA is not receiving as much attention as it should?</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p>Is there
anything good in KCA that can be preserved or worked on? What about the voice of ICT stakeholders who may have a divergent opinion.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p>The media prides itself as the agenda setter and gate keeper in the society; they say that whatever is written or aired is the wish of the people, that that�s all that you want to read. But is it the case?</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p>The next stop for the media is the high court, challenging the government on the bill. They have consulted a law firm to file the suit.</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p>But is the KCA all about media?</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p>What is your take?</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:
