The topic will be: Media and Political Party Culture: What role can the media play in shaping political parties as we approach the next General Election? The panelists will be Peter Aling'o, Executive Director of the Institute for Education in Democracy (IED), Njeri Rugene, a Parliamentary Reporter and Editor at Nation Media Group, and Emman Omari, a veteran Parliamentary Reporter. The event is open to members of the public to enhance public participation and understanding of the role of the media in the Kenyan society. Former newspaper editor, regular media commentator and consultant Kwamchetsi Makokha will moderate the discussions. This is part of a series of monthly round table meetings held on the last Tuesday of every month. The remit of the Monthly Media Round Tables is to deeply examine, in conversations with various organisations and people like academics/scholars, media practitioners/journalists, civil society, policy makers, media stakeholders, politicians, and ‘ordinary’ Kenyans, the role of the media in Kenya. The event will be open to members of the public. Entry is FREE. We look forward to your participation.
