The Alliance for Change looks forward to the Committee completing its work and presenting this legislation to the House before the recess period. It is estimated that another three- four sessions will see the Committee reading through the entire Bill clause by clause. The Committee has gone through almost ¾ of the ninety five page document and has received written submissions from almost all major stakeholders in the sector and awaits follow up oral presentations.
A number of amendments and changes have been recommended and issues flagged for later discussions. The Committee has opted to delay discussions on Part VIII, Spectrum management, Numbering and Domain Name Management since a technical presentation covering these issues is scheduled to be done by experts.
Issues currently engaging the committee include;
Powers of the Minister and fines and penalties for various offences [END]
