I was just listening to Classic 105 this morning in a matatu and i was ashamed of what i was hearing at 9.00 am, i thought we used to have such programs after 11 PM (late night ) as they were called at this rate life expectancy might as well be reduced to 30 (i have no scientific justification or research to support this). The problem is not freedom, the issue is what to do with the freedom, if i heard Dr Ndemo correctly when he did a press briefing, he mentioned the fact that he had invited all the stakeholders in the media fraternity to deliberate on the issue but they are either reluctant or non-commital, i see the media as a double edged sword, it can liberate and it can kill, can the media council and the media owners get their act right in so far as content regulation is concerned, otherwise we might end up with a scenario akin to the Matatu Industry madness which is holding our nation at ransom. (and by the way did anyone do some research on how much we lost during the two day strike?) We shall overcome On 1/14/10, Wainaina Mungai <wainaina@madeinkenya.org> wrote:
Hi all,
When Dr. Ndemo published the new media regulations a few days ago, the Media Owners complained..... naturally.
However, there has been no debate on KICTANet and the press seems unsure on whether to fight this time round.
I am surprised at the very loud silence on the issue. Is it a sign there is a major storm brewing?
