"content": "During our time, we did not have access to radio. Radios were found in very few homes. Those were probably well-to-do homes. Today, radios are everywhere, including in the devices we hold in our hands. Since then, we have had shortwave (SW) radio frequencies to what we now call Frequency Modulation (FM) radio stations, which are very popular and have allowed every community to have a radio station. Sen. Kasanga was right that every community now has a vernacular radio station. I would like to use this opportunity to join the international community in recognizing radio. This year’s theme is “Radio and Trust”. The theme is very important, especially for us because we will have elections this year. Electioneering period is a moment for all of us to be cautious not to allow radio to be used and misused. I call upon the Media Council of Kenya (MCK) and all those responsible to keep an eye especially on vernacular radio stations because they can be used and misused."
