Hi Steve and All,
Greetings from Kenya. Kenya just passed the Broadcasting bill and it became
Law this July, 2009. This has put in place a legal framework for community
broadcasting which the Kenya Community Media Network (KCOMNET) has lobbied
for for years (Since 1997).
You can check our new regulations from our regulator's site http://www.cck.go.ke.
The network is still working towards improving policies on community media
though especially on licensing issues and sustainability.
Best regards
Doreen Rukaria
Coordinator
Kenya Community Media Network (KCOMNET)
