I will share a copy of the law as soon as I receive it. Secondly, there are no guarantees that a model law will be adopted in its entirety by countries. That notwithstanding however, in the area of copyright, it might be useful to have national lobby teams well equipped to make a case for more flexibilities in the law and such other provisions that might make the law friendly. So perhaps a study of the economic impact of limitations and exceptions in any of the African countries would be a good starting point.

In addition to that foreign imposed model laws at times have hidden agendas which in most cases would wish to suit the interests of multinational corporations at the expense of the poor Africans. Any Model law has to be carefully scrutinized and adopted only where circumstances suits our prevailing environment otherwise it would be an absurd to adopt a model law which does not suit us. The example of Kenyan Public Procurement and Disposal Act has been the trend in most African states. We have seen several other laws such as the Model Industrial Property Law just to mention but few.
