The delay in migration has affected us so much because consumers in Kenya have not been sensitized on the benefits of digital platform and so they did on willingly migrate. The three main broadcasters concentrated on frustrating the migration process and did not air anything on the discussion. Majority of Kenyan have been made to believe that the chines company is being favored against our local media houses.</div><div class="yiv7272446645qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1422000879102_19603" dir="ltr">In the meantime Elimu TV and others could not get advertisements because the advertisers work on numbers.

We shouldn't disregard the fact that content costs. In the recent past we have seen local TV Stations come up with winning local programs. And local artists being awarded accordingly. We mustn't think that this comes out of thin air. Let Startimes and others enter into a commercial discussion with the media houses. I am sure they will come to an agreement.</div><div class="yiv7272446645gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="yiv7272446645gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><b><font face="georgia, serif">Ali
