In any democratic setting of a government,media,communication and freedom of expression form an integral part of democracy that weaves together a peaceful co-existence between the government and the citizens. The residents of Narok county especially around Narok town do not seem to enjoy this right to the full as the county members can only access only one radio station and the other one reachable is unclear.
This leads to lack of diversity and viewpoints hence citizens can’t have a different forum for expressing their divergent views. The county hosts a university college which offers a course in journalism and the students have a hard time trying to gain knowledge in radio journalism from practical listening sessions as the only accessible station communicates in maa language which most of the students are not conversant with.
I therefore appeal to the Communications Commission of Kenya who have the mandate,power and duty to control the radio-frequency spectrum in Kenya to look into the matter and make this county that hosts the 8th of the worlds wonders a communication hub, before lack of communication turns it into another world wonder.
