    "content": "The Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) is the regulator and, fortunately, one of the Chairmen of CAK is an immediate former Senator and the CEO is an immediate former CEO of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). I hope they are listening. Community radios have become a critical tool in the management of community affairs in matters of security, mobilization of resources, mobilization of social welfare groups and so on. In fact, when our Committee of National Security and Foreign Relations visited Laikipia County, one of the things we learnt is that there are local FM stations that make regular broadcasts on issues, warnings and alerts, when bandits from the valleys are coming to raid and rustle their cattle. To have one radio station taking up and jamming the frequency of another radio station is a criminal act. The CAK as the regulator must ensure that when you license a radio station or TV station, and you collect revenue from the proprietors, then you have a corresponding duty to make sure that the frequency allocated to them is safe and cannot be interfered with. Any other licensee of another frequency should neither mute nor overlap nor jam the frequency for which a citizen or a group of citizens have paid money to the Government and must enjoy that freedom."
