Hi Brian - The ICT related Bills should be separated as much as possible for easier administration in future. I was very happy to hear that the group that recently met the Parliamenatry Group strongly recommended that the e-Transactions Bill/Act must stand on its own. This is also the common internatinal practice and I agree with your hint about "buffet". Kind Regards, Waudo On Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:18:32 +0300, "Brian Munyao Longwe" <[email protected]> said:
Hi all,
We at a workshop in Mombasa to look at the "Mukimwo" that has been made in the form of the Communications Amendment Bill.
What is "mukimwo" some of you might ask? Also known as "Kienyeji" - it is a mix of maize corn, potatoes, green leaves (mchicha?) and often a variety of other things including meat, tomatoes, bananas, onions, cabbage etc...the thoroughly mashed together.
Well, this - in my view - is kind of what we are looking at here. A single bill which combines many different issues in an attempt to satisfy the deep hunger in the ICT sector with one meal.
Well, some of us are of the opinion that it is better to have a buffet of ICT legislation. Separate, discrete laws that deal to the necessary depth with issues as diverse as cybercrime, computer misuse/fraud, electronic transactions, digital signatures, privacy and personal information etc. Without trying to mash them all together as the current draft does.
So my question is, do you prefer Mukimwo or Buffet?
Brian
