"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I support this Petition brought by my good friend, hon. Mbadi, I must say that we, the political class, have been accused of going to bed with the private media houses and ignoring our national broadcasting station. Today, the KBC is being referred to by the staff as Kazi Bila Chakula. Yesterday, the Assistant Minister stated that no action would be taken upon the members of staff who are on strike. However, on the same day, the Managing Director gave a notice to the members of staff saying that he was going to sack them. This is against what the Assistant Minister said in the House! As this matter is being referred to the relevant departmental Committee, this strike reminds of the strike by the doctors. That strike was not only about benefits and salaries; rather it was about improvement of facilities. We are now faced with a similar strike where employees are saying that it is not just about what they take home, but it is also about improving the facilities so that KBC can become a modern day station. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Petition is more than timely, and I support it."
