Dear Ali and Colleagues,

I have been following developments in the Film Sector and i must admit there is a serious policy problem in the sector that requires a multi stakeholder approach to resolve. It appears stakeholders are at cross purposes. How can the sector regulator enter the playing field yet there are many budding actors that are struggling?, i also hear the cost of shooting movies locally is astronomical. What is the point of having all this fibre optic infrastructure when we pay attention to the content side?, some of this issues have a direct effect on the cost of hosting services and even data since we have few users (elites) who only use the Internet to exchange mail and communicate.

Best Regards

Meanwhile, this regulation body is venturing into film production. Yes, this is probably the way to go. When the regulation body produces the content, of course it will meet all the regulatory requirements. Kudos. Meanwhile, for the hundreds of budding filmmakers who cannot afford the 5000 bob film license and 1000 bob per filming day fees, they should explore other less expensive creative activities.

Going by this post below forget the above. Otherwise the Morality Police will be on your necks..


Whilst I deplore the actions of Eric Omondi (like any parent or sane minded person should) we need to be careful not to throw the baby with the bath water (no pun intended).
