    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The issue is not just a matter of giving Chinese our frequencies. If they have been given frequencies, that is a separate matter. But they have also taken over the KBC's General Service as well as the National Service. Last Tuesday, the General Service switched off to air Chinese programmes from 7.30 p.m. after the 7.00 p.m. news. So, we are losing or surrendering our sovereignty. Only last week, the Assistant Minister said that the KBC had to retrench over 200 Kenyans because there is lack of capacity, yet they are actually giving away jobs to the Chinese broadcasters. Could the Assistant Minister explain to this House what he is going to do to ensure that the KBC invests in expanding the capacity of the station so as to afford more broadcasting airtime for Kenya and the entire region of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) given that they are receiving US$500 per hour?"
