After President Uhuru Kenyatta was sworn in in 2013, and thereafter he named his cabinet, the Ministry of information moved forward with an idea that had been floating around for a while. To streamline government spending on advertising and several associated areas under one body. Meant to create synergy through bulk and then save government money, the move saw government then channel all advertising cash through the Government Advertising Agency.</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">Between January and April of 2016, this body billed just over a cool ksh.4B.</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">Then they moved a step further and created the 'My Gov' pullout which initially ran in the two national dailies, plus the people and the star. Henceforth all government advertising apart from very critical adverts were channel into this project with the news being delivered by the Kenya News Agency. The ministry then pays one of the newspapers to print and distribute as a pullout.</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">Needless to say, over this period, advertising revenue has shrunk dramatically to the point of crippling operations in some newsrooms. To turn the screws even further, the Ministry has then stopped printing and publishing this pullout regularly but is now doing so in 'random' fashion on a weekly basis in any of the said newspapers. The last I saw it was in the Star Newspaper.</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">While no doubt the above move has helped with government austerity, the media is having to tighten its belt tighter every day.
