    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me a chance to congratulate my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, for reminding us the important world Radio Day. For many years, radio has been used as an affordable way to access information. Growing up, many of our parents did not have televisions. However, they used to get a lot of information from radio. Radio has remained relevant as a medium of getting information. Radio should give the public right, relevant and important information, especially on issues of social and economic growth of the communities. Radio should air programmes that can assist our youth and communities on how to grow their economy using the bottom-up economic model. I wish radio could provide people with information in programmes that can grow them. Radio remains an affordable way of getting information rather than cellphones where you need to have airtime and charge your phone using electricity and that is another expensive way of sustaining your medium of communication. Radio has been affordable for the community. We can build radio and make it more creative and relevant in terms of helping Kenyans and the world to grow social ideas. At times, I listen to radio programmes in the morning when I am preparing to get out of the house. Some of them have eroded our social fabric by criticizing marriage and every societal norm instead of passing important information and instilling social values to our young generation. This can be done by putting emphasis on social and family life, education, agriculture and all other means of production in the country."
