    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Royal Media Services is not an individual. It is a corporate entity, but be that as it may, I will give a little background to this story. The Royal Media Services got its frequencies a long time ago, in fact, in the days of the Kenya Posts and Telecommunications (KPTC). It was issued with a broadcast permit on 22nd April, 1997 to broadcast on FM Radio and Television in Nairobi, Nyeri and Mombasa. Subsequently, the then KPTC assigned the company the necessary frequencies to broadcast in these areas. However, these frequencies were cancelled by the CCK on 17th April, 2001 for reasons of non-payment of spectrum fees. The Commission's decision was challenged in court by Royal Media Services who were awarded an injuction for the status quo to remain. These things happened a long time ago. They have these frequencies. In fact, based on this, there was an application by the company to cover other areas of the country. In February, 2003, the Minister then gave the company more frequencies which they hold to this day."
