Thanks for sharing. Even without reading the proposed amendments I raise a serious red flag regarding the proposed abrogation of powers that have to do with regulation to the executive. What then is the purpose of a supposedly independent CA?

Dear all,

Pls see below, link to the Statute Law Misc. Amendment Bill 2015, which proposes to amend several laws, including KICA.

According to the objects and reasons:

Kenya Information And Communications Act, of 1998 - Firstly to align it with the Competitions Act, 2014 in respect of the criteria for being a dominant market undertaking and secondly to harmonize the regulation making power so that it is exercised by the Cabinet Secretary in consultation with the Authority. 

The Competition Act (No. 12 of 2010 -  The Bill seeks to amend the Competition Act so as to clarify that the power to Prescribe, as specified in the Act is to be exercised by the Cabinet Secretary in consultation with the Authority.
