<br>
I don't think we need to throw the baby out with the bath water. The
problem is not that there are vernacular stations, but that these
stations have been used irresponsibly by their promoters. Vernacular
stations if responsibly managed can play the important function of
positively promoting culture and traditions; which add to our national
heritage. <br>
<br>
What we need is a code of ethics and regulation that impose stiff
penalties on those who use vernacular radio stations for purposes of
incitement.<br>

should start campaigning for all vernacular
stations to be shut. I don’t think they add so much value, in any case
we
have a fairly literal community in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Kenya</st1:country-region>
and I’m almost sure there are very few in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Kenya</st1:place></st1:country-region> who cannot understand
Kiswahili
and English. In any case the cost of teaching Basic English and Swahili
languages
to those who do not know is cheaper than what we have lost in one week.
What
happened last week has never happened since independence and probably
the main cause
is the vernacular radio stations which have drastically increased in
the last
3-5 years with their inciting messages and statements.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi Kagwe,<br>
<br>
Why is it that tribal issues are most violent outcome among poor? I
believe because they suffer from more than economic poverty but also
associative poverty. <br>
<br>
When the Luo's call their shanty villages Kisumu Ndogo and the Kikuyu's
Kwanjenga we refuse to create diversity of association and thus loose
the
opportunity for cultural wealth. The creation of vernacular radio
stations has not helped the issue either. We have become worse had
implementing ethnic segregation than God or the colonizers, the Boars
cannot
hold up a candle to us. What this does is it makes it uncomfortable
for
me and my neighbour to listen to radio together because he is Luo and I
am what
I am.<br>
<br>
With a literacy level of 60% why are we cowering into our tribal
cocoons
instead of becoming more cohesive. I believe that Kiswahili and
English
programing should take up 80% of all radio station content otherwise we
might
as well have the parliamentarians take a vernacular proficiency test to
be
allowed to participate in elections and also have our national exams
done in
vernacular.<br>
<br>
Who funds this radio channels that propagate ethnicity, its the
Breweries,
Safaricoms, Bidcos and Coca Colas as their only objective is a profit.
They then walk around flounting their CSR (or should it be CPR -
corporate
profit responsibility) programs, if they refused to support all this
ethnic
stations their CSR programs might be more effective. After supporting
KASS FM
and others they will now be running to Eldoret to give blankets to
people who
where, as of 27th December, self reliant before the radio station
broadcast
inflammatory contents soon after the commercial message.<br>
<br>
The lawyers have got us to this impasse when they arm-twisted the Moi
government to issue all with radio frequencies, similarly to what they
did for <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Rwanda</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
As history teaches us we never learn from it, we are moving full steam
towards
ethnic cleansing. <br>
<br>
Let us us make use of technology to broadcast information that will
bring us
together, lets run completions that test our knowledge of other ethnic
groups. Lets install computers in our rural schools and have the
children
send e-mails to each other across the country, not those misguided
projects
that get Kenyan children to communicate with kids in Europe & the <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
We
have the technology that allows us to implement solutions that do not
require
parliamentary approval or a government license. Awake and stop this lip
service
on the issue of ethnicity we are all responsible for getting this
country to
where it is today. Do we have what it takes to change course.<br>
<br>
Yes, I do know the causes and like a typical Kenyan I know the
solutions but
only discuss them on forums instead of taking action. Like a serial
killer I am looking to be stopped, can someone push me to act on my
theories?<br>

to inflate the polls and actually go ahead and mark the ballot papers

style="font-size: 12pt;">Happy new year to you all and I pray that you
are all well.<br>
<br>
It is shocking that in this day and age we can actually have the kind
of
electoral fiasco that has been visited on us by the ECK and Co as well
as the
political parties.<br>
<br>
This draconian problem reared its head when the <st1:place w:st="on">Orange</st1:place>
house was broken into and the computers stolen. Hon.Nyongo's statement
indicated that the objective was to steal the member register. If I
needed to steal the register which from his comments was in electronic
form
what was the need of taking off with the computer. Has he ever heard
of
flash disks, external hard dis drives and CD/DVD writers.
Technology allows me to steal his data without him every knowing.<br>
<br>
After this issue Kivuiti dismissed the SMS service that had been made
available
by Telkom to enable voters confirm their details. He even went to the
extent of saying he does not know how to send an SMS. As the IT
fraternity in the country can we really escape blame for this fiasco?<br>
<br>
The next time was when I saw Hon. Ruto standing at KICC and screaming
himself hoarse over the forms 16 & 16A that had not been received.
It
seems he might be using a Nokia 1018 mobile phone (he actually uses a
Nokia N
series). <br>
<br>
Was it so difficult for the opposition to provide each of their agents
with a
camera equipped mobile phone that they would have used to to take
pictures of
the form and also record the returning officer announcing the results.
This would then have been easily sent to party head quarters.<br>
<br>
There are 210 or so constituencies in the country and the mobile phones
I am
talking about cost about 10,000/- each do the math. <br>
<br>
I ask am I the only Kenyan who is aware of such technology or is this
entire
fiasco a stage managed process. Even the EU observer teams came
equipped
as if it was the 12th Century after which they proceeded to make
unsupported
statements about the result that further inflamed bloodshed.<br>
<br>
Maybe its a techie thing to keep in our glass houses and refuse to add
value to
a process and only send around message (this one included) after the
fact. <br>
<br>
It is re-assuring when we remember the <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Florida</st1:place></st1:State>
fiasco but this not withstanding do we really have a moral standing to
point
fingers about the election results?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
