CJITL – The Legislative Commission for Social Communication (KOLKOS) in Timor Leste was founded Aug. 3, 2007 after several months of discussion between members of the media community and legal institutions.
The commission’s purpose is to monitor and develop the laws that relate to media and press freedom and also freedom of expression in Timor-Leste.
Otélio Ote is the head of the commission, Eurico Pereira is vice-chief of the commission, and Francisco da Silva Gari is the secretary of the commission.
Otélio Ote, in an interview with online reporter of CJITL said KOLKOS is established with the intention to draft laws and advocate for the work of social communication.
KOLKOS is currently consultating with partners such as UNDP and Commission A of the National Parliament to prepare a draft of the media law.
