This has become the norm in Kenya now. The trend has become to licence activities which never used to be licensed. I remember the Science, Technology and Innovation Act of 2015 (I think) which became law and requires licences for any kind of research. In other words, you cannot do research as part of your business without getting a licence. There was an attempt to form the Kenya Accreditation Agency (another privately sponsored bill by Hon. Duale) which failed. We recently had ICT Practitioners Bill which flopped. (I’m sure there are many others which do not directly impact me.) Now this… it’s copy cat scheme to privatise rights.

Dear Listers,
There will be a stakeholders meeting on the *11th of October 2016* at the Louis Leakey Auditorium, National Museum, to discuss the proposed film bill from 8.30am.
Each guild or association is supposed to forward the names and contacts of at least 7 members so that they can attend the forum. I was wondering whether Kictanet is aware of this?
The proposed film bill will definitely have an impact on the ICT community, including ISP providers.
As a filmmaker, I am very concerned with a lot of the details in the proposed bill. Here is just one example:
Regards, Mildred Achoch.
