<span style="font-family: georgia,serif;">Dr. Ndemo, thanks for bringing this matter to the fore. Stakeholders' participation is the only thing that will bring the much needed reforms as required by the constitution. </span><br>

Talking of reforms. We have posted two Bills, that is the Independent<br>
Communications Commission of Kenya and the Independent Media Council, on<br>
<a href="http://www.information.go.ke" target="_blank">www.information.go.ke</a>. The two far reaching pieces of legislation were<br>
necessitated by the new Constitution. I need your input by mid January<br>
before we plan a major conference (the constitution requires comprehensive<br>
stakeholder participation before any policy proposal becomes law) in<br>
Mombasa. After we establish concesus the Bills will be sent to the Kenya<br>
Law Reform then Constitutional Implementation Committee then the AG's<br>
office and finally to Parliament. We will get another chance to view the<br>
Bills after the first reading in Parliament. The whole process is to take<br>
less than six months.<br>
<br>
The Freedom of Information and Data Protection Bills are making progress<br>
too and we shall keep you updated.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
