Needless to say, there’s been a lot of public frustration and anger in Kenya with the passing of the Kenya Communications (Amendment) Bill 2008. There’s a spillage, all-over.

In reading MSM news, blogs and forums on the happenings over the past few days, one things is clear: people have not read the Bill in its entirety. Also, are we getting riled up for the right reasons?

Why do I say this? More..

Folks, read the Bill here.

KenyaLaw.org also has a Bill Tracker for all bills tabled in Parliament this year.

Also, read the Information and Communications Bill, 2008 here. Notice that a few sections of the ICT Bill were merged into the KC(A) Bill.

What sections were left out?

Part II: Communication Commission of Kenya

Part V: Telecommunication Services

Part VI: Radio Communications

Part VII: Postal Services

among others..

Update:

Also, read about why I think many people might not have read the entire KC(A) Bill.
