KNCHR hosts media breakfast meeting on the Inquiry

On Wednesday 20th April 2011, the KNCHR public inquiry on sexual and reproductive health team hosted a media breakfast meeting at Sarova Panafric Hotel. The meeting was aimed at bringing together representatives from media houses and media agencies, as well as guest experts and the KNCHR's public inquiry team for a round table discussion on the best modalities for implementing the media component of the inquiry. 

The main objective of the breakfast meeting was to consolidate a working, collaborative relationship between the inquiry team and the media, aimed at maximizing public participation in the proceedings of the inquiry.  The inquiry team and reproductive health experts present informed the media representatives of the objectives of the inquiry. Media representatives were briefed on the concept of the inquiry, the progress made so far and the plans for the public hearings to be carried out from mid-May to July 2011. Participants were also informed on the key role the media is expected to play in disseminating information to the public, including ensuring the success of the public hearings across the country.
