We are running around in circles here. Why didn't the consortium of local companies not win the tender? Because of infighting, myopia and daft pride. A consortium of all media companies would have enough oomph to win it. But they felt sharing is to mainstream and most decided to put in their individual bids. If the tendering was open then I support the Chinese company don't keep running to corruption. On Dec 25, 2013 1:02 PM, "Lkimani" <lkimani@yahoo.com> wrote:

jst seen the CS breathing fire on K24 on this matter. It looks like
this fight is moving from the courts into the public space. It sounds like its going to be looong and bloody. Ave heard from the Govt side, I wonder what the Media house side is...they are all here on KICTAnet and I wish they would freely share their view -outside the constraints of a court case.
One good outcome of the blackout from NTV, KTN and Citizen is the
discovery of KBC and KT24...had forgotten they exist :-)
walu.

Christopher,
I am an ardent supporter of the migration but I need to ask.
Have you issued any 3rd license to anyone?

You will recall that the 2nd licence for digital broadcasting signal distribution was issued out competitively through an open tender. Some of
The two firms have set up digital platforms in Nairobi and other major
towns in country to support the migration from analogue to digital TV broadcasting. The issue of awarding the licences to a Chinese firm and a subsidiary of a firm on its deathbed is therefore a non-issue.

To be fair though I can't help thinking how skewed we are as a country
Migration Ruling the local media houses expressed interest in the tender but lost out to the licence by the Pan-Africa Network Group in an open and transparent tendering process. They subsequently lodged an appeal to the Public Procurement Oversight Authority (PPOA) which was dismissed as lacking any merit. that the two digital signals are:-
1. Controlled by a Chinese company 2. Controlled by a defunct media company that is at its death bed..
