PM<br><br><div class="plainMail">Walibengo,<br>I am equallly frustrated because it takes at least four years to go<br>through Cabinet, AG's office and Parliament. These are processes beyond<br>my control.<br><br>Iy you recall, we merged the two FOIs, the Prof. Nyongo one and our own<br>draft. We indeed agreed that I send to Cabinet. I have promised<br>practically anyone I meet that the bill will soon be out of Cabinet soon. <br>I am confident that it will happen one day since FOI for example is an<br>agenda 4 item.<br><br>Regards<br><br><br><br>Ndemo.<br><br><br><br><br>> Bwana PS,<br>><br>> true that these drafts were debated and i recall attending the forum at<br>> KSPS. Problem is this was a while back (2006-7) but the problem has always<br>> been that you never get to know what part of non-government stakeholders<br>> contributions were taken on board (went to the cabinet) and which parts<br>> were
ignored.<br>><br>> Eventually ofcourse one will get to know the details when the Bill gets to<br>> the floor of Parliament. And then the real challenge starts in that if<br>> other stakeholders think that what is before parliament is not "inclusive"<br>> enough, they will try to influence MPs to change it accordingly. At that<br>> level ONLY the big "influential" stakeholders (read: donors/private<br>> sector) can get the attention of the MPs; let alone their "buy-in" to make<br>> changes (read: forget our famous wanjiku's input at this level)<br>><br>> Finally, even if the big stakeholders do get their changes in, if at all<br>> the Executive feels that those changes significantly alter their original<br>> policy objectives, they can always play the red card (veto) and take the<br>> whole process back to square1.<br>><br>> So in short, my submission is that it is always cheaper to build and<br>>
probably more importantly confirm consensus at the beginning of the policy<br>> process rather than towards the end.<br>><br>> walu.<br>><br>><br>><br>><br>> --- On Sat, 7/24/10, <a ymailto="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke" href="/mc/compose?to=bitange@jambo.co.ke"><a href="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke">bitange@jambo.co.ke</a></a> <<a ymailto="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke" href="/mc/compose?to=bitange@jambo.co.ke"><a href="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke">bitange@jambo.co.ke</a></a>> wrote:<br>><br>> From: <a ymailto="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke" href="/mc/compose?to=bitange@jambo.co.ke"><a href="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke">bitange@jambo.co.ke</a></a> <<a ymailto="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke" href="/mc/compose?to=bitange@jambo.co.ke"><a href="mailto:bitange@jambo.co.ke">bitange@jambo.co.ke</a></a>><br>> Subject: Re: [kictanet] Privacy vs National Interest-Draft<br>> DataProtectionBill?<br>> To: <a
