Ignore these guys. When I saw the title (when a criminal leads a
country) I thought they were talking of  George Bush.

  Where are the Media Owners Association (MOA) who run the
  presidential debate? Can they get together very quickly and agree on
  a media blackout for politicians sharing defeatist info.



Otherwise, the principal purpose of the presidential debate and
media-led peace campaigns might be quickly eroded...MOA led Kenya for
Kenyans, Bring Zack Back Home and many more. I am sure they can do
this.



MOA has to come out and say they will cover the tallying process and
encourage the rule of law!

Listers,


With the information revolution, news makes round at the speed of
light.


Why should we be getting breaking news of this kind (below) from
international news? Why not from our local media? Should our source of
information be by international media houses?


The media is represented on this list, what’s going on?
