SECTOR 3 Broadcasting regulation is transparent and independent; the state broadcaster is transformed into a truly public broadcaster. 3.1 Broadcasting legislation has been passed and is implemented that provides for a conducive environment for public, commercial and community broadcasting. Analysis Broadcasting legislation has been slow on reforms. It has now defined three tiers of broadcasting namely public, private and community, and also differentiates the roles. The Kenya Communications (Broadcasting) Regulations 200917 defines the roles, the license conditions, and obligations of each category of broadcaster. The Kenya Broadcasting Corporation is designated as the Public Broadcaster established by an Act of Parliament – CAP 221 of the laws of Kenya – to undertake public services, and assume the government functions of producing and broadcasting programmes by sound or television. The Broadcasting regulations in article 13 (2) provide for CCK through the frequency plan, to ensure that an equitable number of frequencies or channels are reserved for community broadcasting. The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Act 2009 established the Broadcasting Content Advisory Council that will be responsible for the administration of the broadcasting content, and the mechanisms for handling complaints. The Act makes provisions for appointment of inter alia, two members by the Media Council of Kenya, one from the Law Society of Kenya and two nominated by CCK, one of whom shall be recommended by the inter-religious forum. 17 The regulations became law in January 2010, after Media Barometer 2009 had taken place. 38 AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER KENYA 2009
