<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I believe it is well in order for all stakeholders to
attend this meeting. Much appreciated that COFEK got the court order but if it
is in public interest, I would think Mutoro should be happy to have a full house
of all stakeholders to discuss this matter. Over to you Mutoro- why not
attend the meeting and engage in a meaningful discussion with the
stakeholders? </FONT></DIV>

If we continue to give latitude to Cofek, we shall one time regret because in
my view they will take up on everything," Ndemo wrote on The Kenya ICT Action
Network platform on January 13. The standstill might see the negotiation
window close, which will leave the fate of Tv consumers to the court<FONT

Kenya and Consumer Federation, aimed at agreeing on a suitable date to switch
off analogue Tv transmission, failed to take off after fresh disagreements
arose between the two parties.<BR>Cofek yesterday snubbed a meeting between it
and CCK citing involvement of outside parties contrary to court orders. In a
ruling on January 11, High Court judge Isaac Lenaola directed the CCK and the
consumer lobby group to negotiate on an agreeable new date, saying the initial
December 31 date was untimely and improper.<BR></SPAN></DIV>

stakeholders like broadcasters, government, other consumer lobby groups,the
Digital secretariat ans vendors in the new date deliberations. However, Cofek
said it should be the only party to negotiate with CCK since it was the only
one that sought legal
action.</SPAN></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></STRONG></DIV>
