    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is good that you have informed one of your Speaker’s Panel Members not to stand on frivolous points of order. I do not know otherwise how they will take care of the House in the absence of the substantive Speaker. I stand to support the Petition. It is unfortunate that the Communication Commission of Kenya (CAK) is giving out the same frequencies to different radio stations. You are told that another radio station was given the frequency 90 which Sawanga FM was using before. Now they do it at the same frequency. This is very sad. I just read here that Sawanga FM was formed by a Community Based Organization (CBO) from a certain Ng’arua, sub county in Laikipia. Obviously, from my understanding of that area, they have already stated that it was talking to the people in Kikuyu, Turkana and Kiswahili. Is there a reason why a radio station from Narok should come there? Is there some community in that area which was hindered from being part of Sawanga FM? Was that a reason? Without prejudice, I do not want to go into what really caused this. I ask the Committee to look into it fairly and see what caused that. I do not understand why CAK should give a frequency to a radio station in Narok to come to Laikipia to broadcast and overshadow the other one. Obviously, there is something fishy here. The Committee Members including the Senator of Laikipia should look into this and tell us why a radio station from Narok comes all the way to Laikipia to overshadow another unless there is something else there. Look into it and tell us what is going on. We want fairness."
