    "content": "Fellow Kenyans, hon. Members, these are difficult times. Our country faces various potential threats. The terrorists who seek to attack our people are already trying to anticipate the media’s response to their evil acts. It is up to you to help us frustrate their ends. As journalists, editors and owners, you must always remember that the fate of millions of Kenyans hangs precariously on the tip of your ink pen. You can choose to use your platform to burn or to build your country. I urge you, today, to use it for the latter. I invite you to work with my Government to strengthen and protect our democratic space. In the last year, we have made immense strides in the area of technology. The first phase of digital migration has been successfully concluded. As a result, we now have 63 licensed stations as of December, 2015 compared to only 14 that we found in 2013. Indeed, I would be justified to say that despite the vehement resistance by a section of the media to the digital migration process, it is clear that their fears were unfounded. A recent study indicates that there has been an 11.5 per cent increase in the proportion of daily television viewers. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
