Hi,
The members of parliament have given themselves a pay rise against the wishes of the electorate and the executive, there are bruising wars going on between parliament and the senate over CDF, the Nakuru Governor has asked the national government to remove the way bridges from the county unless they agree to share the revenue, NTV, Citizen and KTN have officially withdrawn their content from digital distribution until they are issued with a distribution license and last and list Kenya Power today turned off power to the whole country to justify their demand for increased tariffs.
I assure you with all this shenanigans going on His Excellency Wairia will be putting up his analogue TV station with the claim that so long as the signal remains within his jurisdiction he does not need to get approval from CCK or any
one else and that will be the continuation of the end of the digital migration activity.
Note that COFEK have stopped the turning off of any analogue signal therefore CCK will be powerless in stopping Hi Excellency Mr. Wairia, he also would not install a digital station as it would mean forcing the poor citizens of Murang'a to purchase digital decoders which would then defeat the objective of having a widespread platform for the dissemination of County Government policies.
Digital migration is on its death bed, now I understand why the Media Owners are fighting the to retain their analogue frequencies.

Oh, that governor thinks that putting up and running a TV station is like constructing a market and asking hawkers to occupy/use it, I guess. National policies, when in conflict with County policies, do prevail over the later, IIRC.
