Speaker, Sir, as a journalist with very many years of experience having worked in the mainstream media as a reporter and as a newscaster for the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) and the Nation Television (NTV), I would like to say that if I am appointed to be a member of the Broadcasting Committee, I will be able to point out issues that pertain to that Committee. For example, I remember that in the Presidential Speech, there was need for increasing the local content in our TV stations and I thought it was meaningless for His Excellency, the President, to say that it will be increased from 40 per cent to 60 pent. This is because the 40 per cent rule has not been enforced and we see it is just foreign programmes. If you switch on your TV today, all the major TV stations have one programme scheduled for the day because if you switch on your TV at 6.00 a.m., all stations will have local talk shows with different shows. Some call it Power Breakfast, Sunshine or Good Morning Kenya. These programmes for two or three hours and after that they switch to foreign soap operas up to 1.00 p.m. where they bring News at 1.00 p.m. They will then go to the foreign soap operas up to 4.00 p.m. then have the news again in Swahili or English; they then have foreign music up to 7.00 p.m. where we have the news in Swahili. Then we will go to a local programme for half an hour and all the TV stations are like that."
