    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Joint Committee of the House Broadcasting and Energy, Communication and Information Committee, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts Report of the Joint Committee on Energy, Communications & Information and the House Broadcasting Committee on the Interference of Avionic Communications Frequencies by Local Radio Stations, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday 4th October, 2012. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the two Committees had various meetings in which they summoned the respective organs overseeing the industry. They included Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) and some of the radio stations which were mentioned. The interference of the avionic industry was noted and some of the reasons given by the regulators are the failure by some of the local radio stations to install the band-pass filters and transmission through different high energy frequencies. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of the radio stations like British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Radio Citizen and others have rectified that. They have been given the type approval but some have not been installed in some of the transmitting stations like Londiani. They are in the process and the Joint Committee recommended that they be given 30 days to inspect and report to this House any of the local stations which have not installed the band-pass filters and the power they are transmitting on. I wish to say that the regulatory organs; the KCAA and the CCK were given various terms to meet so that they can report to the various relevant Committees of this House. Therefore, the report is so extensive and I wish to move. I would like to ask Mr. Duale, who is one of the Members of the Committee, to second."
