I think Wamuyu had raised the concern of which body (ICCK or the Media Council) is envisaged in article 34 (5) of the Constitution. <br>
<br>
Having read the article, and having consulted with the a media lawyer Henry Maina, the Director of Article 19, that envisaged body is the Media Council which will in 5 (c) set media standards and regulate and monitor compliance with those standards.<br>
<br>
This being the last day of this debate, and in which I believe we can make any comments on any of the sections discussed, I will reiterate that article 2 of the ICCK 2010 (Object of the Act) be deleted as it belongs to the Media Council.<br>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Dear Listers,</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Today is the final day on the discussions on the Independent Communications Commission of Kenya Bill 2010. I think it would be worthwhile to revisit a concern Mr Wangusi raised on the first day.<span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span>He was concerned that in the new Constitution -- specifically in Chapter 15, Clause 248 (1&2) which establishes Commissions in this country -- the ICCK name does not appear to be among those listed. So is this title in contravention of the Constitution and should we suggest another name like “Communications Regulatory Authority of Kenya” or something like that. </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">We would appreciate your thoughts.</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Best Wishes,</p>
