I thought Ndemo was the devil according to a previous posting here by Mutoro, who was happy to see the former PS go. He in addition claimed to be friends with the current CS?<div><br></div><div>So how comes things have remained the same then?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Today, the CS has said that they are still open to consultations, and the same are still ongoing and that everything is being done by the law. He doesn&#39;t understand why some people should be making noise in some corner. <br>

I agree with James. Kictanet is more representative of ICT industry because in my opinion Kictanet members by virtue of  being consumers of products and services  are also Cofek members.<br><div><span><br></span></div><div>

Thanks Grace for this information. It&#39;s indeed sad to see that<br>
different factions are moving in different directions as we move<br>
towards complete migration to digital TV.<br>
<br>
Since the consumer representative doesen&#39;t necessarily have to come<br>
from COFEK, where else did the ministry fish the representative? In my<br>
view, the different civil society movements that are geared towards a<br>
free society like ISOC, COFEK, KICTANET, e.t.c should have fronted a<br>
name to represent the common Mwananchi&#39;s interests at the CCK board.<br>
<br>
Honesty is very important when dealing with this issue and Machavelian<br>
tactics might not win.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

&gt; On June 21, Cofek and the Government of Kenya announced a deal to withdraw<br>

&gt; Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) and the Cabinet Secretary for ICT<br>
&gt; were present.Under the arrangement, Cofek was to spearhead negotiations on<br>
&gt; the country’s stalled digital migration. The Federation was to equally<br>
&gt; withdraw the court case on digital migration. On his part, the ICT Secretary<br>
&gt; was to obey the law in appointing the consumer representative to the CCK<br>
