Editors’ Guild are pleased to invite you to participate in a Media Round
Table to be held on Tuesday 27th March 2012, between 12 and 2pm, at the

the Media in Tackling Ethnicity During Elections. The panelists will be Dr
Mzalendo Kibunjia, Chair, National Cohesion and Integration Commission,
Alex Chamwada, Associate Editor, Royal Media (Citizen TV), Dr Karambu
Ringera, Founder and President, International Peace Initiative, and

commentator and consultant Kwamchetsi Makokha will moderate the

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 Kenya.
