    "content": "(a) Is the Minister aware that Multichoice (K) Ltd has notified all its customers that effective April 1, 2010, charges for its various services would increase by US$3 each despite the current high charges of up to US$110 (about Ksh8,000), and yet in South Africa, the country of origin, the company charges a mean rate of SA Rands 5 (about Ksh500)? (b) Could the Minister state what investment the company has made in Kenya to warrant such huge disparity in subscriptions considering that the transmissions are from the same satellites? Could he also explain why the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), as the regulator, has allowed the company to use its monopoly in satellite TV transmission to charge Kenyans so exorbitantly? (c) Could CCK compel the company to review the exploitative charges and levy similar charges in Kenya as South Africa?"
