color:#1F497D'>The <i>Kenya Information and Communications Act, CAP 411A</i>,
expanded the mandate of the Commission to cover, among other things, regulation
of broadcast content. To facilitate the operationalization of the said law, the
Minister for Information and Communications gazetted subsidiary legislations (i.e.
broadcasting regulations) sometimes last year. He also subsequently set up the
Broadcasting Content Advisory Committee to assist the Commission bring order in
the broadcast programming and in resolving consumer complaints. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Before CCK could start regulating broadcast content, a suit was
filed in the courts barring the Commission from discharging this added
responsibility. The matter is still pending in the courts, which means CCK
hands are tied in respect to regulating broadcasting content. CCK has already developed
the requisite regulatory instruments (i.e. licensing procedures, draft
broadcasting licence and draft programme code) as its await the conclusion of the
suit. These instruments shall be subjected to a process of public consultation
once the matter before the courts is adjudicated. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
