"content": "very quickly within a few days, you see it coming up. You do not have to bother about chasing a licence and so on. Therefore, we need to distinguish so that the governor is told, “You have those sites that belong to the county government, and then you have the privately owned sites. So, if somebody who is promoting a business does not want to do the local running of an advertisement and so on, he or she will be free to approach somebody who owns a private advertisement site, if it is a billboard, for example. You pay then that person does the local. I was joking in Malindi when I was campaigning during the by-election with two governors; so they warned me, that, “Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, do you know that your joke of saying that you want to unseat a sitting governor, you can easily be frustrated?” I asked them how? They told me: “We can block all the billboards in the county and you cannot access even a single one.” We need to encourage that there be liberalization in ownership of advertisement sites so that if you are not friendly to the governor, then you can go to a privately owned site and get your advert going. Sen. Wetangula, are you surprised? I do not know who owns Magnate Ventures Limited but from the adverts that I saw during the presidential campaigns, I had a feeling that they must be owned by somebody who shares a DNA with a certain candidate who ran in 2013. As much as my candidate was limping and being assisted to get organised; even to get a billboard for him in Kakamega was impossible. However, I could see the billboards of President Uhuru in Kakamega. We do not want this kind of frustration. This law should also protect us. We do not want candidates at the election who are so well endowed financially like the governors---"
