Little is wrong with the Media bill, but there is definitely something bigger, that is wrong with the Kenyan Media. We can blame Kibaki all we want, but the truth remains, the media and the Politicians played and equal role in the so called clashes n death during the past election. The media published unchecked stories,they were biased in their reporting prior to the elections. They relayed to the public irresponsible statements by the political class.
There is a great danger in letting the two groups go uncontrolled, let the politicians watch the media and let the media watch the politicians.
Personally, I got no quarrel with the Communication bill. Please, Kenyan Media, be told, the hullabaloo about this bill is getting into my nerves now. You have made too much noise, and the fact that Kenyans can only hear what the media wants to talk about is quite irritating.
To kibaki, if you ever log in to FB, gag all media houses talking about the communications bill.Raid their houses, take away their equipments, arrest all of them coz this is tantamount to public incitement that might lead to civil unrest.
To the ODM brigade who are playing saints now. The last time I checked, you had the majority in parliament! I believe the rules haven’t changed, and the will of the majority rules the parliament. All bills brought to the parliament are first circulated to each MP’s pigeon holes. Raila is still the best at marshaling support. You could have shot down the bill if you wanted! Stop playing with Kenyans minds.The bit that is wrong with the said bill is there because of your own omission or commission. Sad that none of the ODM MPs is willing to introduce an amendment bill to correct it as such. Stop playing saints where you are not! I would just wish to put on my radio and listen to music without the now common inciting interruptions about how the media is being gagged and how its gonna be bad for me. I am tired of the communication bill issue being the headline everyday, am sick of watching news full of media this media that. I am tired of the listening/reading/hearing just what the Kenyan media wants me to.
