You don't wait for forums to hold people to account. 😊 On Jan 30, 2018 19:37, "Barrack Otieno via kictanet" < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Hi Colleagues,

In principal the act of interfering with the media should be condemned for instance some of the channels still cannot air news yet as customers we have paid for the content which is not right. We have different opinions or views on how the media should conduct itself which is ok but free flow of information should not be curtailed. If we are not careful the Internet in Kenya will soon be targeted which will affect the economy in a great way. I am still hopeful that the Communications Authority will issue a statement on what has happened today to bring this matter to closure and as we wait for the same, let us avoid casting aspersions since we will veer of the real issue.

@Dorcas,

We missed a step forward towards media freedom and freedom to access information.

Politics aside, I also felt for those who had to keep calling people who had internet or could afford bundles to stream the event. There are other ways of making the media accountable other than denying citizen access to information.

Other than the perceived illegality, what did we actually miss.

I stopped watching these stations two years ago. Most journalists agenda set based on personal or paid interests and there is tonnes of evidence to this.

I am surprised at how so many pretend not to know this 😔

By the way, my business and customers are gravely tired of this political crap. I assure many people are.

And subscribers are paying to serve the kind of delusional content screened (I feel especially for kids).

Kenyans, if you want a better country, fix yourself first. Complaining about the less 500 senior government officials many of whom you would be pleased to replace and benefit like they do is the highest level of hypocrisy.

Controversial as this may sound, it's the high time each of us took ownership by fixing yourself first.

Kevin and all

I won't dwell on the tribal or ethnic part of this issue. Let's rather address the illegality and unprecedented nature of what is going on right now.

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual. As I write this Citizen, NTV and KTN News are still dark. The rest are operating. WHY?

One day someone will be held responsible for this. Impunity cannot last forever.

We thought Kenya is ahead of other countries to experience a shutdown. Think again. We are still in January, and 2022 is 5 years away.

The media too thought they were above board and could not be harassed like normal Kenyans. Now the tide has turned. They were complacent in many ways before, during, and after the elections.

While haggling here on democracy using the lens of TV media, yes, the cyber is also on the spotlight. https://www.georgesoros.com/2018/01/25/remarks-delivered-at-the-world-econom... The IT monopolies I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware.Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections. Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters "This is particularly nefarious because (social media companies) TV companies, aka broadcasters influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it.

A good and insightful read Wangari. The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models. I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least. ​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​. Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day. On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya. ​​

​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. My foundations are actively engaged in all of them. We are particularly focused on Africa, where would-be dictators in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo have perpetrated electoral fraud on an unprecedented scale and citizens are literally risking their lives to resist the slide into dictatorship.​

*The IT monopolies* I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware. Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters "This is particularly nefarious because (social media companies) TV companies, aka broadcasters influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it.

And subscribers are paying to serve the kind of delusional content screened (I feel especially for kids).

Kenyans, if you want a better country, fix yourself first. Complaining about the less 500 senior government officials many of whom you would be pleased to replace and benefit like they do is the highest level of hypocrisy.

I won't dwell on the tribal or ethnic part of this issue. Let's rather address the illegality and unprecedented nature of what is going on right now.

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

At the height of the protests in Egypt, the dictator president, Hosni Mubarak, decided to shut down the Internet as well. That did not stop Egyptians from remaining Egyptians. Who triumphed? Just because an ostrich decides to bury its head in the sand so as not to see what is happening around doesn't make it safe for the ostrich.

My apologies. I now understand the situation. I'm working away from the TV most of the time. This last time I went by I was corrected that the decoder has a subscription, and even then NTV, KTN and Citizen were off. It seems they defied the ban on broadcasting live political events. My question would now be on the justification of the ban. ------------------------------ From: Keith Andere via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Sent: ‎30/‎01/‎2018 11:09 To: deborah.wanjugu@gmail.com Cc: Keith Andere <kephand@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [kictanet] TV signals turned off

KTN News too. Channels are off on all free to air platforms.

KTN News and NTV are available on DSTV.

Which signals have been turned off? I went to check and found them all on and transmitting normally with the exception of Citizen. It usually has issues on the Startimes decoder.

Good morning, My conundrum for the day. I work for KTN NEWS I had scheduled two interviews today afternoon. One on modern commercial large scale farming and another on T-vet ( Technical and Vocational Education and Training) and youth. Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees, parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window). My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry. After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain. If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions). For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances. And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

A good and insightful read Wangari.

The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models.

I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least.

​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​.

Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day.

On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya. ​​

​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. My foundations are actively engaged in all of them. We are particularly focused on Africa, where would-be dictators in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo have perpetrated electoral fraud on an unprecedented scale and citizens are literally risking their lives to resist the slide into dictatorship.​

*The IT monopolies* I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware. Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters "This is particularly nefarious because (social media companies) TV companies, aka broadcasters influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Be blessed.

I am surprised at how so many pretend not to know this 😔

By the way, my business and customers are gravely tired of this political crap. I assure many people are.

And subscribers are paying to serve the kind of delusional content screened (I feel especially for kids).

Kenyans, if you want a better country, fix yourself first. Complaining about the less 500 senior government officials many of whom you would be pleased to replace and benefit like they do is the highest level of hypocrisy.

Kevin and all

I won't dwell on the tribal or ethnic part of this issue. Let's rather address the illegality and unprecedented nature of what is going on right now.

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual. As I write this Citizen, NTV and KTN News are still dark. The rest are operating. WHY?

We thought Kenya is ahead of other countries to experience a shutdown. Think again. We are still in January, and 2022 is 5 years away.

The media too thought they were above board and could not be harassed like normal Kenyans. Now the tide has turned. They were complacent in many ways before, during, and after the elections.

The government simply did not want Kenyans to witness the huge crowds that have turned up. AND they are huge.

The BBC and Aljazeerah are offering periodical updates live as well. KTN NEWS livestream is also still on, though intermittent. And at this point, it is out of Both Raila and Kalonzo's hands.

Politics aside, the CA physically disconnected terrestrial links at Limuru before then systematically switching off most other channels of broadcast, fibre connections and satellite are intermittent.

This is so sad to see happen in my country Kenya. And at so many levels.

I will set aside the constitution and the illegality of the situation because am not a constitutional expert of any kind. What I can comment on is that this is such a strategic failure by the perpetrators. It is actually so shocking that they cannot actually see that this only serves to add more fuel to the fire.

Is this the caliber of people that we have at the top of our Industry? Are they not able to advise the government of how futile it is to attempt to shutdown communication in today's world???

As for the Kenyan Media - you deserve this. You are a greedy and self serving lot. Just the other day we heard recordings of a certain journalist being threatened. Where was the collective response? Shame on you too.

At the height of the protests in Egypt, the dictator president, Hosni Mubarak, decided to shut down the Internet as well. That did not stop Egyptians from remaining Egyptians. Who triumphed? Just because an ostrich decides to bury its head in the sand so as not to see what is happening around doesn't make it safe for the ostrich.

My apologies. I now understand the situation. I'm working away from the TV most of the time.

-- *Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up, it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a gazelle or a lion. When the sun comes up, you better start running. - In "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman.*

Peter, I agree with Ali that your stories should go on. But sadly, your experience illustrates what a large shadow has been cast by yesterday's shutdown. To stretch the analogy, the cold feet developed by your two sources shows the chilling effect government censorship has on the media's work. Ironically, your fears are related to sources that would probably provide a positive perspective to government work. I was also struck by the fact that the shutdown focused on analogue platforms, when we have tended to presume that it is digital platforms - e.g. the Internet - that are the likely target. That some of those signals are yet to be restored is of even greater interest, assuming that at this point this is not just a technical problem. On yesterday's shutdown, is this an instance where the state should avail information - as provided for under the Freedom of Information Act (2016)? Section 5a (iii) of the act states: " Disclosure of information by public entities (1) Subject to section 6, a public entity shall— (a) facilitate access to information held by such entity and which information may include — (i) the particulars of its organization, functions and duties; (ii) the powers and duties of its officers and employees; (iii) the procedure followed in the decision making process, including channels of supervision and accountability?"

My advise is you go ahead and interview the lady PS. And anybody else in government who wants airtime. We shouldn't repay badness with badness..We should show those who mistreat us what Uungwana (civility) means. I hope your bosses will let you continue with your work. We must build this country.

In my humble opinion there's no conflict in what you do.

Good morning,

My conundrum for the day.

I work for KTN NEWS I had scheduled two interviews today afternoon. One on modern commercial large scale farming and another on T-vet ( Technical and Vocational Education and Training) and youth.

Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees, parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window).

My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry.

After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain. If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions).

For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances.

And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

A good and insightful read Wangari.

The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models.

I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least.

​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​.

Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day.

On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya. ​​

​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. My foundations are actively engaged in all of them. We are particularly focused on Africa, where would-be dictators in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo have perpetrated electoral fraud on an unprecedented scale and citizens are literally risking their lives to resist the slide into dictatorship.​

*The IT monopolies* I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware. Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters "This is particularly nefarious because (social media companies) TV companies, aka broadcasters influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Be blessed.

And subscribers are paying to serve the kind of delusional content screened (I feel especially for kids).

Kenyans, if you want a better country, fix yourself first. Complaining about the less 500 senior government officials many of whom you would be pleased to replace and benefit like they do is the highest level of hypocrisy.

I won't dwell on the tribal or ethnic part of this issue. Let's rather address the illegality and unprecedented nature of what is going on right now.

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual. As I write this Citizen, NTV and KTN News are still dark. The rest are operating. WHY?

One day someone will be held responsible for this. Impunity cannot last forever.

We thought Kenya is ahead of other countries to experience a shutdown. Think again. We are still in January, and 2022 is 5 years away.

The media too thought they were above board and could not be harassed like normal Kenyans. Now the tide has turned. They were complacent in many ways before, during, and after the elections.

The government simply did not want Kenyans to witness the huge crowds that have turned up. AND they are huge.

The BBC and Aljazeerah are offering periodical updates live as well. KTN NEWS livestream is also still on, though intermittent. And at this point, it is out of Both Raila and Kalonzo's hands.

Politics aside, the CA physically disconnected terrestrial links at Limuru before then systematically switching off most other channels of broadcast, fibre connections and satellite are intermittent.

This is so sad to see happen in my country Kenya. And at so many levels.

I will set aside the constitution and the illegality of the situation because am not a constitutional expert of any kind. What I can comment on is that this is such a strategic failure by the perpetrators. It is actually so shocking that they cannot actually see that this only serves to add more fuel to the fire.

Is this the caliber of people that we have at the top of our Industry? Are they not able to advise the government of how futile it is to attempt to shutdown communication in today's world???

As for the Kenyan Media - you deserve this. You are a greedy and self serving lot. Just the other day we heard recordings of a certain journalist being threatened. Where was the collective response? Shame on you too.

At the height of the protests in Egypt, the dictator president, Hosni Mubarak, decided to shut down the Internet as well. That did not stop Egyptians from remaining Egyptians. Who triumphed? Just because an ostrich decides to bury its head in the sand so as not to see what is happening around doesn't make it safe for the ostrich.

My apologies. I now understand the situation. I'm working away from the TV most of the time.

-- *Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up, it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a gazelle or a lion. When the sun comes up, you better start running. - In "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman.*

Good morning,

My conundrum for the day.

I work for KTN NEWS I had scheduled two interviews today afternoon. One on modern commercial large scale farming and another on T-vet ( Technical and Vocational Education and Training) and youth.

Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees, parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window).

My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry.

After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain. If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions).

For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances.

And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

A good and insightful read Wangari.

The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models.

I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least.

​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​.

Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day.

On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya. ​​

​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. My foundations are actively engaged in all of them. We are particularly focused on Africa, where would-be dictators in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo have perpetrated electoral fraud on an unprecedented scale and citizens are literally risking their lives to resist the slide into dictatorship.​

*The IT monopolies* I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware. Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters "This is particularly nefarious because (social media companies) TV companies, aka broadcasters influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Be blessed.

Other than the perceived illegality, what did we actually miss.

I stopped watching these stations two years ago. Most journalists agenda set based on personal or paid interests and there is tonnes of evidence to this.

I am surprised at how so many pretend not to know this 😔

By the way, my business and customers are gravely tired of this political crap. I assure many people are.

And subscribers are paying to serve the kind of delusional content screened (I feel especially for kids).

Kenyans, if you want a better country, fix yourself first. Complaining about the less 500 senior government officials many of whom you would be pleased to replace and benefit like they do is the highest level of hypocrisy.

Controversial as this may sound, it's the high time each of us took ownership by fixing yourself first.

Kevin and all

I won't dwell on the tribal or ethnic part of this issue. Let's rather address the illegality and unprecedented nature of what is going on right now.

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual. As I write this Citizen, NTV and KTN News are still dark. The rest are operating. WHY?

One day someone will be held responsible for this. Impunity cannot last forever.

We thought Kenya is ahead of other countries to experience a shutdown. Think again. We are still in January, and 2022 is 5 years away.

The media too thought they were above board and could not be harassed like normal Kenyans. Now the tide has turned. They were complacent in many ways before, during, and after the elections.

The government simply did not want Kenyans to witness the huge crowds that have turned up. AND they are huge.

The BBC and Aljazeerah are offering periodical updates live as well. KTN NEWS livestream is also still on, though intermittent. And at this point, it is out of Both Raila and Kalonzo's hands.

Politics aside, the CA physically disconnected terrestrial links at Limuru before then systematically switching off most other channels of broadcast, fibre connections and satellite are intermittent.

This is so sad to see happen in my country Kenya. And at so many levels.

I will set aside the constitution and the illegality of the situation because am not a constitutional expert of any kind. What I can comment on is that this is such a strategic failure by the perpetrators. It is actually so shocking that they cannot actually see that this only serves to add more fuel to the fire.

Is this the caliber of people that we have at the top of our Industry? Are they not able to advise the government of how futile it is to attempt to shutdown communication in today's world???

As for the Kenyan Media - you deserve this. You are a greedy and self serving lot. Just the other day we heard recordings of a certain journalist being threatened. Where was the collective response? Shame on you too.

At the height of the protests in Egypt, the dictator president, Hosni Mubarak, decided to shut down the Internet as well. That did not stop Egyptians from remaining Egyptians. Who triumphed?

-- *Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up, it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a gazelle or a lion. When the sun comes up, you better start running. - In "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman.*

@Ngigi, quite true. Whereas I may excuse government intervention in exceptional circumstances and according to the law, I find the extended TV signal shut-down a bit extreme. Worse still I am having to re-adjust my daily TV menu to consuming KBC and K24 - which is not exactly easy for me to digest ;-) walu.NB: but alot remains scanty, like how comes the media stations not going to court?  They can hire Okiah Omtata if they are scared ;-)  On Wednesday, January 31, 2018, 2:53:20 PM GMT+3, Ngigi Waithaka via kictanet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: Listers, This has probably been quoted here a million times, but no harm in doing it one more time...

I work for KTN NEWS I had scheduled two interviews today afternoon.One on modern commercial large scale farming and another on T-vet ( Technical and Vocational Education and Training)  and youth. Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees,  parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window). My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry.  After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain.If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions).  For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances. And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least. ​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​. Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day.

Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees, parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window).

My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry.

After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain. If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions).

For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances.

And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

A good and insightful read Wangari.

The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models.

I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least.

​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​.

Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day.

On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya. ​​

​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. My foundations are actively engaged in all of them. We are particularly focused on Africa, where would-be dictators in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo have perpetrated electoral fraud on an unprecedented scale and citizens are literally risking their lives to resist the slide into dictatorship.​

*The IT monopolies* I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware. Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters "This is particularly nefarious because (social media companies) TV companies, aka broadcasters influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Be blessed.

By the way, my business and customers are gravely tired of this political crap. I assure many people are.

And subscribers are paying to serve the kind of delusional content screened (I feel especially for kids).

Kenyans, if you want a better country, fix yourself first. Complaining about the less 500 senior government officials many of whom you would be pleased to replace and benefit like they do is the highest level of hypocrisy.

Kevin and all

I won't dwell on the tribal or ethnic part of this issue. Let's rather address the illegality and unprecedented nature of what is going on right now.

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual. As I write this Citizen, NTV and KTN News are still dark. The rest are operating. WHY?

One day someone will be held responsible for this. Impunity cannot last forever.

We thought Kenya is ahead of other countries to experience a shutdown. Think again. We are still in January, and 2022 is 5 years away.

The media too thought they were above board and could not be harassed like normal Kenyans. Now the tide has turned. They were complacent in many ways before, during, and after the elections.

Is this the caliber of people that we have at the top of our Industry? Are they not able to advise the government of how futile it is to attempt to shutdown communication in today's world???

As for the Kenyan Media - you deserve this. You are a greedy and self serving lot. Just the other day we heard recordings of a certain journalist being threatened. Where was the collective response? Shame on you too.

-- *Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up, it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a gazelle or a lion. When the sun comes up, you better start running. - In "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman.*

Peter. I hope you wrote us this email while in a highly charged meeting with your colleagues and those from the other houses as regards to how you are going to march to both the CA and the MoICT to demand the restoration of your transmissions and an explanation.

You just tell me where and when we are to start.

If not, I have no sympathy for you guys.

Good morning,

My conundrum for the day.

I work for KTN NEWS I had scheduled two interviews today afternoon. One on modern commercial large scale farming and another on T-vet ( Technical and Vocational Education and Training) and youth.

Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees, parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window).

My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry.

After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain. If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions).

For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances.

And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

A good and insightful read Wangari.

The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models.

I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least.

​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​.

Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day.

On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya. ​​

​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. My foundations are actively engaged in all of them. We are particularly focused on Africa, where would-be dictators in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo have perpetrated electoral fraud on an unprecedented scale and citizens are literally risking their lives to resist the slide into dictatorship.​

*The IT monopolies* I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware. Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters "This is particularly nefarious because (social media companies) TV companies, aka broadcasters influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

And subscribers are paying to serve the kind of delusional content screened (I feel especially for kids).

Kenyans, if you want a better country, fix yourself first. Complaining about the less 500 senior government officials many of whom you would be pleased to replace and benefit like they do is the highest level of hypocrisy.

Kevin and all

I won't dwell on the tribal or ethnic part of this issue. Let's rather address the illegality and unprecedented nature of what is going on right now.

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual. As I write this Citizen, NTV and KTN News are still dark. The rest are operating. WHY?

One day someone will be held responsible for this. Impunity cannot last forever.

We thought Kenya is ahead of other countries to experience a shutdown. Think again. We are still in January, and 2022 is 5 years away.

The media too thought they were above board and could not be harassed like normal Kenyans. Now the tide has turned. They were complacent in many ways before, during, and after the elections.

-- *Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up, it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a gazelle or a lion. When the sun comes up, you better start running. - In "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman.*

@ Victor It is not clear if any of the media houses has taken legal action. However, the media attended a press briefing this afternoon where they were informed that the stations would "remain off air until the government has completed investigations into the "swearing-in" of Opposition leader Raila Odinga."

One on modern commercial large scale farming and another on T-vet (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) and youth. Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees, parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window). My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry. After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain. If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions). For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances. And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models. I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least. ​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​. Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day. On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya. ​​ ​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware. Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide. Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual.

Listers, This is a clear violation of our constitution. The government unilaterally and without a court order of any sort took 3 media houses off the air. These are the type of moves I heard last being made only in times before I was born. I've never been more disappointed in the CA and ministry of Information than I am at this very moment. That the CS stood behind the minister of Interior as he delivered one of the flimsiest justifications of this BS shows that if he doesn't agree with it he is at least complicit in it. If the media owners won't go to court I hope that some other organisation or person does take the government to court.

​Let me give a bit of background on why media owners may be taking the quiet road on this one. After President Uhuru Kenyatta was sworn in in 2013, and thereafter he named his cabinet, the Ministry of information moved forward with an idea that had been floating around for a while. To streamline government spending on advertising and several associated areas under one body. Meant to create synergy through bulk and then save government money, the ​move saw government then channel all advertising cash through the Government Advertising Agency.

Between January and April of 2016, this body billed just over a cool ksh.4B.

Then they moved a step further and created the 'My Gov' pullout which initially ran in the two national dailies, plus the people and the star. Henceforth all government advertising apart from very critical adverts were channel into this project with the news being delivered by the Kenya News Agency. The ministry then pays one of the newspapers to print and distribute as a pullout.

Needless to say, over this period, advertising revenue has shrunk dramatically to the point of crippling operations in some newsrooms. To turn the screws even further, the Ministry has then stopped printing and publishing this pullout regularly but is now doing so in 'random' fashion on a weekly basis in any of the said newspapers. The last I saw it was in the Star Newspaper.

While no doubt the above move has helped with government austerity, the media is having to tighten its belt tighter every day. (Not that anyone owes us anything) From a team of ten just five years ago, I often have to work with just one person and maybe an intern to deliver hours of news. (and companies, like our are all looking to shrink their traditional businesses).

When you mix the above issues with the general corporate governance issues that majority of the Kenyan economy faces, there is cause for worry. And while companies are indeed innovating in order to stay relevant, I daresay the level of attrition is way faster.

Then through in lack of depth, lack of experience (because inexperience is easier to hire and pay) and the rise of fake news and you have a melting pot that should have everyone worried.

And while I agree with Ali Hussein that our diligence will eventually pay off, I fear for the hordes of millennials who may not be as patient.

In closing, very few companies are willing to take on Government, or even larger corporates like Safaricom anymore

Good morning,

My conundrum for the day.

I work for KTN NEWS I had scheduled two interviews today afternoon.

One on modern commercial large scale farming and another on T-vet (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) and youth.

Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees, parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window).

My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry.

After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain.

If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions).

For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances.

And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

A good and insightful read Wangari.

The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models.

I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least.

​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​.

Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day.

On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya.

​​

​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. My foundations are actively engaged in all of them. We are particularly focused on Africa, where would-be dictators in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo have perpetrated electoral fraud on an unprecedented scale and citizens are literally risking their lives to resist the slide into dictatorship.​

*The IT monopolies*

I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware.

Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters

I won't dwell on the tribal or ethnic part of this issue. Let's rather address the illegality and unprecedented nature of what is going on right now.

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual. As I write this Citizen, NTV and KTN News are still dark. The rest are operating. WHY?

One day someone will be held responsible for this. Impunity cannot last forever.

I agree, Dorcas, challenge is media ownership which usually wants/needs to keep them primed to go during election time. But yes. Very quietly we are innovating in order to change the game. I daresay we are already seeing the signs of change that eventually has to happen. On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 5:34 AM, Dorcas Muthoni <dmuthoni@gmail.com> wrote:

@Peter

This is very true and I know to survive in the media business today is not business as usual.

Instead of focusing on politricks, claiming it sells why not wake to the call of disruption.

We have all lost government business across many sectors, many bills remain unpaid in public procurement, now it's time to create new value propositions to the undeserved or new relevant content.

If you check the Google search statistics on top Kenyan user searches, that would provide a pointer on some content areas worth airtime with relevant local context.

By the way, why is KTN HOME still broadcasting? Because they focus is on family entertainment? I am sure several others are on air.

Wake up call to your mainstream media houses producers? Over emphasis on politricks especially during the news hours will eventually cost the media.

​Let me give a bit of background on why media owners may be taking the quiet road on this one. After President Uhuru Kenyatta was sworn in in 2013, and thereafter he named his cabinet, the Ministry of information moved forward with an idea that had been floating around for a while. To streamline government spending on advertising and several associated areas under one body. Meant to create synergy through bulk and then save government money, the ​move saw government then channel all advertising cash through the Government Advertising Agency.

Between January and April of 2016, this body billed just over a cool ksh.4B.

Then they moved a step further and created the 'My Gov' pullout which initially ran in the two national dailies, plus the people and the star. Henceforth all government advertising apart from very critical adverts were channel into this project with the news being delivered by the Kenya News Agency. The ministry then pays one of the newspapers to print and distribute as a pullout.

Needless to say, over this period, advertising revenue has shrunk dramatically to the point of crippling operations in some newsrooms. To turn the screws even further, the Ministry has then stopped printing and publishing this pullout regularly but is now doing so in 'random' fashion on a weekly basis in any of the said newspapers. The last I saw it was in the Star Newspaper.

While no doubt the above move has helped with government austerity, the media is having to tighten its belt tighter every day. (Not that anyone owes us anything) From a team of ten just five years ago, I often have to work with just one person and maybe an intern to deliver hours of news. (and companies, like our are all looking to shrink their traditional businesses).

When you mix the above issues with the general corporate governance issues that majority of the Kenyan economy faces, there is cause for worry. And while companies are indeed innovating in order to stay relevant, I daresay the level of attrition is way faster.

Then through in lack of depth, lack of experience (because inexperience is easier to hire and pay) and the rise of fake news and you have a melting pot that should have everyone worried.

And while I agree with Ali Hussein that our diligence will eventually pay off, I fear for the hordes of millennials who may not be as patient.

In closing, very few companies are willing to take on Government, or even larger corporates like Safaricom anymore

Good morning,

My conundrum for the day.

I work for KTN NEWS I had scheduled two interviews today afternoon.

One on modern commercial large scale farming and another on T-vet (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) and youth.

Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees, parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window).

My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry.

After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain.

If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions).

For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances.

And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

A good and insightful read Wangari.

The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models.

I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least.

​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​.

Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day.

On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya.

​​

​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. My foundations are actively engaged in all of them. We are particularly focused on Africa, where would-be dictators in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo have perpetrated electoral fraud on an unprecedented scale and citizens are literally risking their lives to resist the slide into dictatorship.​

*The IT monopolies*

I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware.

Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual. As I write this Citizen, NTV and KTN News are still dark. The rest are operating. WHY?

@Dorcas I agree with you 150% on the part of Disruption. The media world wide has been disrupted. While they were focused on eating the usual staple - Ugali, Sukuma, Githeri, Nyama Choma etc the cheese moved - literally. Add on top of that governments that are increasingly intolerant of free speech and association and their goose was cooked. The Pay-to-Play mantra is a global issue now. Think Trump. Think Putin. Think the GCC fight between Qatar on one hand and Saudi Arabia and UAE on the other (Al-Jazeera is at the heart of their dispute and one of their key demand to Qatar is to shut down the station). Where I respectfully disagree with you is this notion of telling the press not to report on politics. Responsible Political Reporting (emphasis deliberate) today is a very nuanced and subjective issue. It’s the stuff of Alternative Facts.Just ask Donald Trump. If politics isn’t part of the menu served up every morning by news outlets (from Facebook to the Mirror, to New York Times to the Washington Post then we won’t be human. For any government of the day any where in the world Responsible Reporting is anything that supports their points of view without an iota of criticism. That my dear sister is sad. The 4th Estate is probably the most disparaged part of the socio-economic fabric of society. Sometimes they are to blame for their predicament. However to be human is to err. Mine is to urge all of us not to sink to such a level of sycophancy and Pay-To-Play antics that we simply refuse to see what ails the world.

This is very true and I know to survive in the media business today is not business as usual.

Instead of focusing on politricks, claiming it sells why not wake to the call of disruption.

We have all lost government business across many sectors, many bills remain unpaid in public procurement, now it's time to create new value propositions to the undeserved or new relevant content.

If you check the Google search statistics on top Kenyan user searches, that would provide a pointer on some content areas worth airtime with relevant local context.

By the way, why is KTN HOME still broadcasting? Because they focus is on family entertainment? I am sure several others are on air.

Wake up call to your mainstream media houses producers? Over emphasis on politricks especially during the news hours will eventually cost the media.

After President Uhuru Kenyatta was sworn in in 2013, and thereafter he named his cabinet, the Ministry of information moved forward with an idea that had been floating around for a while. To streamline government spending on advertising and several associated areas under one body. Meant to create synergy through bulk and then save government money, the ​move saw government then channel all advertising cash through the Government Advertising Agency.

Between January and April of 2016, this body billed just over a cool ksh.4B.

Then they moved a step further and created the 'My Gov' pullout which initially ran in the two national dailies, plus the people and the star. Henceforth all government advertising apart from very critical adverts were channel into this project with the news being delivered by the Kenya News Agency. The ministry then pays one of the newspapers to print and distribute as a pullout.

Needless to say, over this period, advertising revenue has shrunk dramatically to the point of crippling operations in some newsrooms. To turn the screws even further, the Ministry has then stopped printing and publishing this pullout regularly but is now doing so in 'random' fashion on a weekly basis in any of the said newspapers. The last I saw it was in the Star Newspaper.

While no doubt the above move has helped with government austerity, the media is having to tighten its belt tighter every day. (Not that anyone owes us anything) From a team of ten just five years ago, I often have to work with just one person and maybe an intern to deliver hours of news. (and companies, like our are all looking to shrink their traditional businesses).

When you mix the above issues with the general corporate governance issues that majority of the Kenyan economy faces, there is cause for worry. And while companies are indeed innovating in order to stay relevant, I daresay the level of attrition is way faster.

Then through in lack of depth, lack of experience (because inexperience is easier to hire and pay) and the rise of fake news and you have a melting pot that should have everyone worried.

And while I agree with Ali Hussein that our diligence will eventually pay off, I fear for the hordes of millennials who may not be as patient.

In closing, very few companies are willing to take on Government, or even larger corporates like Safaricom anymore

Good morning,

My conundrum for the day.

I work for KTN NEWS I had scheduled two interviews today afternoon.

One on modern commercial large scale farming and another on T-vet (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) and youth.

Being off air on most platforms and under government shutdown, one of my interviewees, parastatal Chief, no less, has developed cold feet and cancelled or postponed. He is not sure how to behave and whether his turning up would be misconstrued. (Two weeks of work out of the window).

My second interviewee, a focused and passionate lady PS. we have been planning and cancelling for 3 months now. When I last got her into studio, what was supposed to be a one hour insightful discussion was interrupted by a presidential rally by the current President. She got just 3 minutes on TV for her trouble and left veeeery angry.

After much haggling, we finally rescheduled. AND THEN YESTERDAY HAPPENED. Despite the switch off her handlers insist we keep our end of the bargain.

If I host her, will I still be 'kow towing' to the same government that is trying to literally throttle my bread and butter ( if I may borrow from two expressions).

For both them and I, there is a lacuna on how to behave in these instances.

And yet, my audience still needs to be educated and entertained. Oh what interesting times we live in.

A good and insightful read Wangari.

The rising power of Facebook, Google and Twitter and their opportunistic business models.

I can directly correlate the challenges that the world media is facing to these corporations. They have basically invalidated the current media company model in such a way that they sell content that they do not produce themselves and to sweeten the deal further - they do not have to pay for any operator licenses.They need to be classified as media companies - at the very least.

​That is why you see our media here being so desperate to the point that they almost have no choice but to cooperate with the government because it is the biggest source of their revenue​.

Next in line to be cannibalized is the Telecom industry bu this is a discussion for another day.

On another note, it is shameful for Kenya to be mentioned with the below countries, and in such a context. Does anyone have specific information on what the Soros foundation is doing in Kenya.

​​

​That leaves the local battlegrounds in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. My foundations are actively engaged in all of them. We are particularly focused on Africa, where would-be dictators in Kenya, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo have perpetrated electoral fraud on an unprecedented scale and citizens are literally risking their lives to resist the slide into dictatorship.​

The IT monopolies

I want to spend the bulk of my remaining time on another global problem: the rise and monopolistic behavior of the giant IT platform companies. These companies have often played an innovative and liberating role. But as Facebook and Google have grown into ever more powerful monopolies, they have become obstacles to innovation, and they have caused a variety of problems of which we are only now beginning to become aware.

Companies earn their profits by exploiting their environment. Mining and oil companies exploit the physical environment; social media companies exploit the social environment. This is particularly nefarious because social media companies influence how people think and behave without them even being aware of it. This has far-reaching adverse consequences on the functioning of democracy, particularly on the integrity of elections.

Might it be possible to replace with TV companies, aka broadcasters

ALL MAJOR TV STATIONS HAVE GONE DARK.

Why? Is it because of a technical issue? Or was it a deliberate attempt to muzzle free speech and expression.

I understand some goons even went to a particular ISP and tried to block certain IP addresses.

This level of intimidation and muzzling of the press is unprecedented. Any Kenyan of sound mind and body will be against it. Irrespective of the political divide.

Not even in the darkest days of the KANU Dictatorship has the press been treated in such a cavalier manner while the supposedly 'friendly' press continue with their business as usual. As I write this Citizen, NTV and KTN News are still dark. The rest are operating. WHY?

This may explain why Wangusi had to go. There is a Kemei who is acting DG.

We thought Kenya is ahead of other countries to experience a shutdown. Think again. We are still in January, and 2022 is 5 years away.

The media too thought they were above board and could not be harassed like normal Kenyans. Now the tide has turned. They were complacent in many ways before, during, and after the elections.

"... and when they finally came for the media, there was nobody to speak up for them"

The government simply did not want Kenyans to witness the huge crowds that have turned up. AND they are huge.

The BBC and Aljazeerah are offering periodical updates live as well.

KTN NEWS livestream is also still on, though intermittent.

And at this point, it is out of Both Raila and Kalonzo's hands.

Politics aside, the CA physically disconnected terrestrial links at Limuru before then systematically switching off most other channels of broadcast, fibre connections and satellite are intermittent.

This is so sad to see happen in my country Kenya. And at so many levels.

I will set aside the constitution and the illegality of the situation because am not a constitutional expert of any kind. What I can comment on is that this is such a strategic failure by the perpetrators. It is actually so shocking that they cannot actually see that this only serves to add more fuel to the fire.

Is this the caliber of people that we have at the top of our Industry? Are they not able to advise the government of how futile it is to attempt to shutdown communication in today's world???

As for the Kenyan Media - you deserve this. You are a greedy and self serving lot. Just the other day we heard recordings of a certain journalist being threatened. Where was the collective response? Shame on you too.

Kevin

Jubilee can go ahead and switch off the Sun, FaceBook & Twitter.

At the height of the protests in Egypt, the dictator president, Hosni Mubarak, decided to shut down the Internet as well. That did not stop Egyptians from remaining Egyptians.

Who triumphed?

Just because an ostrich decides to bury its head in the sand so as not to see what is happening around doesn't make it safe for the ostrich.

No need to

My apologies. I now understand the situation. I'm working away from the TV most of the time. This last time I went by I was corrected that the decoder has a subscription, and even then NTV, KTN and Citizen were off. It seems they defied the ban on broadcasting live political events. My question would now be on the justification of the ban.

KTN News too. Channels are off on all free to air platforms.

KTN News and NTV are available on DSTV.

Hey Sidney,

Which signals have been turned off? I went to check and found them all on and transmitting normally with the exception of Citizen. It usually has issues on the Startimes decoder.
