Hi,
The Ministry seems to have acquired a set of the proverbial "balls" (need to be gender sensitive) and heeded my advice that the we where creating a monster
Thanks Gilda: We are happy to discuss with the stakeholders on as many other issues. But please take a moment to watch this link with Justice Lenaola's own words - http://www.ntv.co.ke/news2/topheadlines/court-temporarily-stops-digital-migr... There is one specific meeting we believe that ought not to be mixed with other business or stakeholders. We still await CCK to give us a date for this particular meeting. Forget naysayers - we never went to Court to stop digital migration but temporarily delay analogue for the status of preparedness and other reasons we gave in Court. ________________________________ From: Gilda Odera <godera@skyweb.co.ke> To: smutoro@yahoo.com Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Sent: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 4:12 PM Subject: Re: [kictanet] CCK,Cofek digital TV talks fail to take off Listers, 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? Gilda Odera ----- Original Message ----- From: robert yawe that will end up needing slaying at some time and the time seems to be now.
Information PS Bitange Ndemo, who has been pushing for immediate migration and sits on the CCK board, has already ruled out the possibility of negotiating with Cofek alone.
"The constitution dictates that we consult with stakeholders. We cannot therefore have talks with Cofek which has non elected officials. We shall however have consultations with all stakeholders. 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".

Seems they are out to take maximum advantage of a dissolved parliament and the fact that all eyes are currently on the election, the shutting down of Citizen Tv transmitters being another sign of things to haven over the next 3 weeks.
Dr. Ndemo, I believe the fact that there are 2 digital signal transmitters already operational that the analog frequency holders are in contravention of some law therefore CCK should proceed to turn off their transmitters.

Negotiations between Communications Commission of 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. 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.
CCK is in support of involving all industry 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.
