David, neither the Government
nor the Media Council should do this audit. It should be done by an independent
research organization. The media council just like the ECK and other institutions
have been too politicized to be objective and credible.

Dear colleagues,
Having followed the debate on the media audit, I'm convinced
there is consensus that it's important that we review how the media handled the
elections, before, during and after. That is perfectly in order. What's
alarming is the insistence that the government should do it, whereas there is
an organisation, the Media Council, whose mandate includes checking how the
media operates with a view to protect the producers and consumers of news.We've
expressed our views as media practitioners about our disdain for a governmental
audit and Dr Bitange knows about that. Our suggestion remains, let MCK do the
audit, otherwise we'll be accused of creating institutions just to kill them.
But it must be noted vilifying the media won't do when all of
us know where the problem lies. It's human to take an easy route out of a
crisis. The ministry of Information and Communications must not fall into that
trap.
Finally, I associate myself with a view expressed earlier by
one contributor, namely, moderation in this discourse.

Re: [kictanet] Fibre Optic Cables
We are working towards that. We need private
sector to push these developments. Government is not good in business.
We can only intervene to facilitate especially the small enterprises.

Re: [kictanet] Fibre Optic Cables
Nothing against all the big guns establishing in
of
building our own version of Akamai,googles, Limelights etc.
Dont forget the real winners in the knowledge era
are those who produce their own not use
others.
So our long term objective should be to have our own alongside others because
it is
a
free market economy.
