Josephat, I agree with your assessment. This pretty much sums up the state of the nation ( or is it the state of the union of counties...?) Indeed it's just but a tip of the iceberg as matters stand currently; where vested interests take pre-eminence almost over everything else in this land. But again it is tough to stand in the way of an an idea whose time has come (read, "The New order") I strongly suggest that all and sundry wake up under the dawn of a new dispensation, that dispenses with the old order of impunity, vested interests, cronysm,ethnism, politism,nepotism and gerrymandering, etcetra and stand to be counted as statesmen and women willing to place the country above self. Standoffs and tussles being played out in the open, especially at the heart of such a crucial regulatory body sends out very ominous signals for this sector, and it's the last thing we need now. The sooner the 2 warring camps get down to iron out their differences, the better for everyone. We are not ready to be dragged 10 steps backward, when we make 5 forward. Maybe we should we be re-looking at the Independent Communications Commission of Kenya Bill draft, to ensure we eliminate gaps that could get us subjected to such shenanigans in future. Indeed this should also apply to other sectors. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

The main players understand the game very well. The debaters don't ! Under the present coalition government and going by the old constitution (...and mentality) it would be unfortunate for a board chair to go a full term without exerting "the necessary" power, influence, and changes that are ethno-political and p-party compliant. These factors will determine future favours for such people. This is the bitter bill that Kenyans have to swallow...atleast for the short term period preceding the full implementation of the new constitution and a new government is put in place. While it would be naive of anyone to deny these facts it is comforting to note that such days, times and eras will soon be behind us and I would like to advise our senior politicians and others who have lived in this kind of environment for the better part of their lives and who may find it difficult to change to start preparing themselves for the back seat. Kenya is on the move and come September 2012 new drivers will be issued with clean licenses to drive this country forward. As a peace maker I may have no solution to the current problem but I think the power of dialogue supersedes everything else. Have a peaceful day.
