The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) has published the Films, Stage Plays and Publications Bill (2016) as part of reviewing the existing the Film and Stage Plays Act Cap222 with the aim of aligning it with the Constitution of Kenya (2010).
As an effort to use technology to supplement existing public participation avenues in Kenyan law making, we have developed
Jadili, an open source project running on
Madison as a transparent tool for aggregating pubic sentiments, comments and annotations to specific parts of proposed laws.
We hope you can use Jadili to read the Bill, support or oppose it, single out specific clauses and provide alternative wording. This, we think, is a progressive path to constructive public participation as it avoids the general good/bad dichotomy while giving the drafters much more insight into which parts of the Bill need revision.
After the public participation window closes, we send ALL input as received to the drafters for their consideration.
I hope you will use Jadili and if you have any suggestions to improve on it, that will be greatly appreciated.
