Dear Listers
Greetings.
Further to sharing of two KICA Bills here, we would like to submit a memorandum on both as part of public participation. We plan to hold a two day moderated debate next week on Wednesday October 23rd and Thursday 24th.
The two bills propose to amend KICA on different issues.
1. The first one published on March 15, 2019 proposes to amend KICA by inserting a new section 25A, which will allow Telco companies to engage in any other business, so long as they are licensed.
2. The second Bill published on July 24, 201 9 proposes to amend KICA in section 2, which basically is the regulation of social media (including bloggers and watsapp admins).
Mercy Mutemi will moderate the social media one on Wednesday, while Mwendwa Kivuva will handle the Telcos one on Thursday.
We hope to have a discussion on the same with the National Assembly ICT committee at a date to be announced here.
Looking forward to a vibrant debate.
Warmly Grace
