The Legacy of Fear: How the Shadow of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Shaped Kenya's Political Landscape In the annals of Kenya's political history, the events of 1969 stand out as a defining moment marked by fear, coercion, and manipulation. The political tension surrounding Jaramogi Oginga Odinga's candidature led to a series of oath-taking ceremonies in Gatundu that forever altered the fabric of Kenyan society. Understanding this historical context is crucial, especially when contemporary politicians attempt to invoke these dark chapters for political gain.

Alfred Ng'ang'a Mutua has lost the plot

I came across some advertisements in Ng'ang'a site (http://www.communication.go.ke/ukweli/default.asp) and I'm amazed at the lengths Kibaki will go to entrench himself in power.

Personally, I find Ng'ang'a's novice attempt at propaganda laughable, and quite honestly, very desperate. Judge for yourselves...

WHY GOVERNMENT HAS CANCELLED LIVE BROADCAST
The Government by requesting media houses not to air live press conferences and call-ins into radio shows wants to empower editors to be in control of the information relayed by their media houses.

In the prevailing environment, some people are using the media to call for violence and to incite members of the public to engage in violence. By running these comments live, at the prevailing emotional state of many citizens, can be dangerous. However, editors are free to screen whatever they want a few minutes later after they have reviewed the material.

Technically other than breaking news there isnt too much in terms of live broadcasts on tv.
Because even news is edited before time for clarity and time. Not to say that I agree with what the muzzling of the media but we both know that editors can choose to broadcast the exact same thing they were going to broadcast live.
