    "content": "Unless these media stations are fully controlled according to the law by the CAK, they can do more damaging things than good. I remember in 2007 during the post- election violence, most of the local radio stations were culprits of the same. The way they were broadcasting in an unprofessional way emotively raised suspicion and even encouraged the post-election violence. They must be regulated and controlled. For example, this one already has its frequencies overlapping with the frequency of another radio station. They can do grievous things whose burden will be transferred to another one that is not the victim. It is good that today the Chairman of the Committee is around and I know he will take it seriously because he is also a participant in a way as he owns some radio station. Before he is affected on the same, he should act in a proactive manner so that he can settle the matter. I sympathize with this particular radio station because of the struggles they have gone through seeking for assistance in vain. I thank them for bringing the issue to the right place. I am so happy that people still regard Senate high as a panacea to most of the issues affecting them. As Senators, we should continue upholding our status in the society because it still trusts us. Imagine after going through all the stages and not being assisted they have looked at the Senate as the only hope. Since the Chairperson is here, I am sure a permanent solution to this problem will be arrived at as soon as this Petition gets to his hands. Thank you. I support."
