Day 3: FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMISSION<br></font><br>

For example one of the functions of the current CCK is dealing with the ITU. Now the ITU is an Inter-Governmental Organization under the UN. This means that the CCK works with the ITU on behalf of the Kenya Government. Decisions in the ITU are taken by voting with each country having one vote. CCK has to vote according to the instructions it receives from the Government of Kenya. How do we tie this aspect with the earlier requirement that the new
commission "is independent of control by government".</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And just for better understanding, what is the role of the National Communications Secretariat? The CCK has been working not only with the ITU but with other entities like ICANN and the IGF to FORMULATE policy while its role should have been limited to IMPLEMENTING policy. Will the new ICCK continue policy formulation function?</div>

Hi Listers,<br>
<br>
Today we move to SECTION 4 of the Draft Bill discussing the FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMISSION </span>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"><span style="font-size: 21pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"><span style="font-size: 21pt;">In my view the key issues for discussion are:</span></p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"> </p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"><span style="font-size: 21pt;">a) That the Commission must perform duties imposed upon the former Commission by or under the Act?</span></p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"> </p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"><span style="font-size: 21pt;">b) The Commission may exercise and continue the exercise of the powers conferred upon the former Commission by or under the Act;</span></p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"> </p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: 21pt;">Question</span></span><span style="font-size: 21pt;">: What is your take on this? In addition, is there any major difference between the two issues?</span></p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"> </p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: 21pt;">Note</span></span><span style="font-size: 21pt;">: The other issues have to do with the Commission acting subject to Chapter 4 of the Constitution and subject to the Public Finance Management Act, 1999 (please refer to the Bill for further emphasis). <br>
</span></p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"><span style="font-size: 21pt;">If you have anything else on the other 2 days please send but with the right subject header so we do not confuse issues for those collating comments.<br>
</span></p>
<p class="me66770MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt;"><span style="font-size: 21pt;">Best Regards, Nyaki<br>
