[George Nyabuga]

Dear friends,

The School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Nairobi,
the Media Focus on Africa Foundation, the Media Institute, and the Kenya
Editors’ Guild are pleased to invite you to participate in a Media Round
Table to be held on 30 August 2011, between 12 and 2pm, at the Alliance
Francaise to discuss the relationship between the media and civil society,
and their role in the consolidation of democracy in Kenya. The panelists
will be Prof Kivutha Kibwana, President Mwai Kibaki’s Advisor on
Constitutional, Parliamentary and Youth Affairs, Dr Joyce Nyairo of Ford
Foundation Office for Eastern Africa, Cyprian Nyamwamu of the National
Convention Executive Council, Andy Kagwa of The Standard Group, and Wilson
Ugangu of Multimedia University. The event will be open to members of the
public to enhance public understanding of the role of the media in the
Kenyan society. Former newspaper editor, regular media commentator and
consultant Kwamchetsi Makokha will moderate the discussions.

This is part of a series of monthly round table meetings held on the last
Tuesday of every month. The remit of the Monthly Media Round Tables is to
deeply examine, in conversations with various organisations and people
like academics/scholars, media practitioners/journalists, civil society,
policy makers, media stakeholders, politicians, and ‘ordinary’ Kenyans,
the role of the media in Kkenya.

The event will be open to members of the public. Entry is FREE.
We look forward to your participation.
