Bwana Wainaina tumechoka!

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
