    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. It is good that we are all informed of its importance. World Radio Day is a very important day for us to celebrate and to honor it for what it has done to enable us to use that medium. We use that medium of communication to reach the most important and local people at the grassroots level. Radio is not only a medium of communication but it also grows talent of our youth and the community. Most of us discover those small and vibrant talents from individuals through listening to radio. Let us continue celebrating radio stations as a medium of communication. It is important to note that even us as legislators, we use radio mostly to reach our electorate, to educate them and to communicate with them. Radio enables us to reach those citizens. Radio is very important especially during this digital era such that when I want to listen to radio I do not need to go to my home to listen to it. It has gone further into implementing the same through cell phones. You can switch on your phone, look for the radio station that you want and to listen to without delay. It is a very important gadget that enables us to get information in real time without any delay. I want to appreciate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for reminding us and making us realize that World Radio Day is celebrated. It has a unique ability to reach the widest audience in the Republic of Kenya and across the world; every one listens to radio. If I want to listen to my favourite radio channel from any corner of the world and the wavelength allows it, I can be able to listen to what is happening in my community and country. I am able to be updated through this medium. I join you in celebrating the World Radio Day. It is good that we recognize it as Kenyans and it is also recognized internationally. I support the Statement."
