Mwalimu Reuben Kigame has also joined the digital migration debate criticising KTN, NTV and Citizen for lying and bullying the government with empty threats over the digital migration standoff. NTV, Citizen and KTN Must NOT Bully Kenyans into Submission over Digital Migration Mwalimu has told the three stations that they are not the only ones in the country and their claim to be the only one has been empty and they have been using that to get 80% of advertising revenue from the government and other business leaders in the country. Read Mwalimu’s Facebook note below; Digital migration: blessing or…

By Ndungu Wainaina My Response to Mr. Issack Ahmed Hassan, Chairman IEBC, self defense on Chicken eating hallmark of shameless corruption scandal amongst holders of public offices Mr. Chairman, this is not personal. It is time you stepped down from public office. It is not your choice. Your self-defense arguments are irreconcilably hollow and stench. Chapter Six of the Constitution remains complete as it is. You bring dishonour and disrepute to the institution of the IEBC. Your intransigent insistence to remain holding public office is disdain to the people of Kenya and their constitution. Though criminal jurisprudence presumes a man innocent…

The time has come for the Kenyan media space to be free from the control of three media houses with extremely pathetic content and platforms. Kenyans must move with speed and adopt the digital TV platform because that is the only way the youth and young at heart will innovate and move ahead in the tech sector with better TV content and improved mobile internet speeds from 4G and eventually 5G networks. Broadcasters Crying Foul Over Signet Digital Deal You might want to read the pain and anguish which Citizen TV, KTN and NTV have caused Kenyans through the various…

The 3 Kenyan media stations NTV, Citizen and KTN have been ordered to migrate their signals to the digital platform by midnight tonight. The move has buffled the three media houses which have blatantly sabotaged digital migration and made it impossible for Kenya’s telecommunication sector to grow. The Supreme Court ruling means that Communication Authority has the permission to switch off all analogue signals in Nairobi and its environs by tonight and follow through with the previous migration plan as follows 2nd February 2015: Switch off of analogue TV transmitters in Mombasa, Malindi, Nyeri, Meru, Kisumu, Webuye, Kakamega, Kisii, Nakuru, Eldoret,…

While Nairobi Governor is claiming to do all manner of Harambee’s and uplift the standard of living elsewhere, the primary school next to his parents home in Asumbi is just not what you would expect. According to sources on the ground, Gem Nyabola Primary School has no single concrete building with the school buildings still mud-walled and some of the roofings are grass thatched. The school neighbours Kidero’s parents’ home in Rangwe. Buildings at Gem Nyabola Primary School The situation in the school is so bad that most of the learnings cannot happen when it rains as the school roofing…

Last week in skirmishes with protesting City Park hawkers, the governors so-called ‘bodyguards’ drew pistols and were seen menacingly brandishing them and shooting int heir air to scare hostile hawkers who had just had the unusual experience of their watermelons burning to ashes. What is even more intriguing in the entire scenario was that the people wielding guns were not police officers but employees of the notorious City Inspectorate Department. In town, they are commonly referred to as ‘Kanjo’ and are known for their ruthlessness, barbaric behavior and penchant for bribes. At city park, you had two Kanjo’s one identified…

By Ndungu Wainaina Kenya judiciary trend of imposing excessive bail even on non-serious crimes is deeply disturbing. Bail is never an instrument of oppression. Imposing tougher bail conditions is never panacea for the crime wave, which has swept the country. What is required is that there ought to be a balance between the interests of society and that of the individual suspects. As much as the State has a duty to tackle crime, it also has a duty to ensure that the law is just and reasonable. It is dangerous to limit the exercise of judicial discretion and leave the…

So Linus Kaikai hates Alai. You must have seen this by the way the NTV has tried to turn the Certificates of Doom story focus from Nairobi Aviation to Robert Alai. NTV, Nation FM, Daily Nation and all platforms of Nation Media have been used to try to disparage Alai’s character that those not privy to the details wonder if it is a story about Alai or “Certificates of Doom.” The beef between Robert Alai and Linus Kaikai started when sources close to Emmy Kosgey revealed to Alai why she had to dump the then NTV editor. Emmy revealed that…

So Dennis Okari is back at NTV. After a very short stint at BBC. With the mediocrity I am about to reveal, he was not going to survive at BBC. He left as fast as he went. BBC journalism standards are a bit high for the simpletons in Kenyan media houses. NTV is about to run a piece about fake degrees/certificates in Nairobi. It is running at 9pm. The piece came into being after a freelancer representing the interests of former Assistant Minister Kilemi Mwiria at United Africa College (UAC). The UAC saw the need to do an investigative piece…

Nakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama was arrested on the 25th of Dec along Waiyaki Way for speeding. Arama was detained for 2 hours after he refused to pay the speeding fine of 10K. Hon Arama then called Deputy Inspector General of Police Grace Kahindi claiming he has been harassed. Letter transferring the traffic policemen One week later all the traffic cops in Kabete and Muthangari were transferred to hardship areas. Why are police officers being punished for refusing corruption? Since being elected, Samuel Arama has only contributed 7 times to debates.

The Cocaine and Heroin addict who has been bragging in Nairobi how he can use excuses to kill on behalf of President Uhuru is running mad. Paul Kobia who is a cabbage of a human being now solely depending on Hon Mike Sonko for survival recently bragged how he killed Raila Odinga’s son, Fidel Odinga. Paul Kobia bragged at three different locations knowing very well what he was doing. To protect him, State House links immediately ordered police boss Samuel Arachi to claim that Paul Kobia was sick so as to avoid having him arrested and held to account for…

Nairobi Governor has ordered that City Primary School in Nairobi be named Chandaria City Primary School after the billionaire businessman donated Ksh 12.5million for the renovation of the school. The communication was delivered to the school through the County Executive in charge of Education. Now parents and teachers in the school are raising questions to the manner the Governor wants the school name changed as the school has neither received the money nor seen any renovation done from the fund. The money was apparently channeled through City Hall. Letter Demanding that the name of the school be changed The school…
