Correcting myself: The bill was assented to by the President on Dec 13, 2012 and is now actually *The Consumer Potection Act, 2012*. It is actually now The Consumer Protection Act, 2012 assented to on December 13 On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 4:38 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:
@Kivuva,
There is a Consumer Protection Bill 2011 (successor to Consumer Protection Bill 2007). Could you please tell us who is supposed oversee the actualization of this bill, if not organizations like COFEK?

Dkt.,
In the aforegoing context, COFEK == Public. It's the public's mouthpiece/defender.

Washington, We are employed by the public. We spend public resource to deliver services. We are accountable to the public. We therefore must involve the public in all we do and this is clear in our constitution. The courts can sort this out.
Ndemo.
Why is everyone trying to rebuke COFEK for their stand? Don't we all know and verily agree that it was only COFEK who went to court in the interests of the consumers who couldn't afford the Set Tob Boxes? COFEK's other argument was that the switch off/over was untimely as it's the electioneering period
That "CCK is in support of involving all industry stakeholders like broadcasters, government, other consumer lobby groups,the Digital secretariat and vendors" is blatantly wrong! None of those went to court to stop the switch-off Analogue Brodcasting (which was starting with NBI anyway) as they were ALL READY for the switch-over.
Kenyans, (and now listers) with their known selective amnesia are now calling upon COFEK to involve "stakeholders". These stakeholders already supported the switchover. They did not raise any finger when this was being effected.
We should try and live outside our selective amnesia!
Kudos, COFEK - you are the only entity entitled to negotiate with CCK!

So I am to understand that COFEK was not representing consumers and stakeholders but itself? Why would it seek to block out broadcasters, vendors etc? Exactly whose interests are they protecting?
