[kictanet] Day-time Vulgar Conversations on Kenya Media

[Barrack Otieno]

Spot on Matunda, the good book says where there is no Vision the
people perish, successfull societies are founded on strong values and
morality. Whether we subscribe to it and respect to other peoples
rights is key, this is where we demand strong leadership from the
people in positions of authority since they are our watchmen or
custodians otherwise vision 2030 will be a mirage. I hope we can hear
from from CCK or members of the broadcast content advisory council
since this is not the first time this issue is popping up on mailing
lists, are we asleep?.
