Just in case you are wondering why the 6 Kanu Youth Wingers were waxing lyrical about my family life, here's the real issue.

This is a business fight between gov't and media houses. Bitange Ndemo is right in the mix of this and the CCK

You can argue whether it is pro Kenya or anti-gov't if you wish, but for business purposes, I would expect any sane business entity to fight for its rights



Since we are so sovereign as we are always being preached to, who sold all the rights to the chinese and why?

This is the real borne of contention and not the red herring of being anti-digital. Unfortunately, this time the media has a upper hand and I think they will use their power to the fullest.

Who will blink first?

@FRM2011 is telling us that we should be OK with media shutting down. I say sawa. Let them shut down and shut up! They're lying to Kenyans. If the brightest wazuan, alma, was fooled whar about the old man in his village?

Other than news and a few other programs like Papa n vioja, I hardly watch local TV. They can keep their blackout. Let them protest, it's their constitutional right, and it's also the duty of Jubilee govt to ensure its agenda rolls on, n ensure Kenya keeps pace with the rest of the world. Naomba Sirikali ikae ngumu!
