    "content": "(iii) deleting the words “State-owned broadcasting media” in the proposed amendment to section 108 and substituting therefor the words “all broadcasting media”. The amendment on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act is on page 3664. The basic mischief we are seeking to correct is that the proposed amendment, while seeking to address issues of access--- The Commission is supposed to ensure access to its services in all parts of the Republic but the proposed amendment makes it mandatory that the headquarters of the Commission must be in the Capital City of Nairobi. Linking headquarters in Nairobi and access to services of this Commission nationwide are two unrelated things. We do not see why the two should be linked. Secondly, a situation may be envisaged where the Commission may require to sit outside the city. The way this section is worded is such that if it were to sit and make decisions outside the City of Nairobi, it would be challenged because of where it has sat. So, we are not ready to carry that amendment and we seek that the amendment be deleted."
