In addition to Victor's last comments, there is also the Consumer Protection Bill that addresses the issue of services. It can be found here: <br><a href="http://www.cickenya.org/bills/consumer-protection-bill-2011">http://www.cickenya.org/bills/consumer-protection-bill-2011</a><br>

Great suggestions Victor, your proposals are timely, should you have access to the new rules, kindly share them on list. I agree with your proposals for partnership with the Judiciary and the LSK.<br><br>Best Regards<div class="HOEnZb">

Barrack,<div><br></div><div>The Constitution has opened up new avenues for addressing consumer protection and public interest litigation. I am aware the CJ is currently finalising rules that will make it easier for people to lodge petitions in the public interest. </div>
<div><br></div><div>In addition, a review of the Kenya Communication Act should suffice to identify some of the gaps and provide mechanisms to address them.</div><div><br></div><div>More importantly, i think it would be helpful to work in partnership with the Judiciary and the LSK to explore the possibility of training or sensitizing judicial officers and lawyers on these critical issues. Such initiatives will ultimately help build our local body of jurisprudence on ICT and IP related matters.</div>
