| Kenyan Media Sacrificing The Common Man At The Altar of Political Sensations |
 PRINTABLE VERSION |
Even as they bag in nice perks and live comfortable lives, let them know that its their sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles among others, who are eliciting mourns from prevalent socioeconomic torture by the establishments of the day. And its their duty to get and highlight the views of these people on salient development issues thereby paraphrasing the old adage of doing unto others what you would have them do unto you. This is what the Kenyan economy direly needs after years in economic slumber, disparaging, rape, and loot.

TakingITGlobal has never been more apt than it is now in providing a forum for expression. This is because the dynamic world has undeveloped challenges that pose a great problem to the growth and daily life of any youth in the global society. What with the incessant wars, poverty, HIV/AIDS, pornography, racism and several other vices creeping into the society in a culture best objectified as vicious gradualism.
Here is where writing comes in handy and the TakingITGlobal literati, glitterati and pundits alike have provided a vital conduit through which these vices, positive and negative dynamism can be expressed.
I am saddened for example, when a promising youth is reduced to a hopeless parasite by drugs. More saddening is when I see the mercilessness, the hopelessness, the dereliction, the lack of love that many children, youth and people are subjected to due to wars, poverty, pornography and such as other negativities which silently and slowly kill the spirit and will within humans! Having gone through such experiences myself, I pray that God gives me the massive ability to be able to help these people to the best of my ability with His guidance, provision and protection. I have often wondered whether the expression "do unto others what you would have them do unto you" is being subjected to relativity. These are the problems which need highlighting and what better forum is there than TakingITGlobal.
I am privileged to be part of this ideologically vimmed and gustoed community.

the kenyan media should be given enough space as in the government should not interfere with the activities of the media that way, the media will be able to exercise its power of informing and educating the society.also, the media should be sincere not to allow selfish interest mislead them in their professional field.
Media in Kenya Antony Felix O. O. Simbowo | Mar 13th, 2007
Its true that media freedom in Kenya is still some sort of a farce. It is paradoxical. We still need greater freedom in the Kenyan media if any of the recent occurrences are anything to go by. Media censorship should be removed.
However, that does not mean putting out development-related issues at the expense of political expediency. When a reliable report indicates that the annual government expenditure of Kenya is roughly comparable to that of the University of Carlifornia, then you can understand what we are dealing with here.
