Radio Maisha Put On Notice

Last week, Royal Media Services’ vernacular radio station, Egesa FM was warned by Television Viewers and Radio Listeners Association of Kenya for allegedly spreading hate. Today, a similar warning has been issued to Standard Group’s Radio Maisha.

In a statement to the public, the Television Viewers and Radio Listeners Association of Kenya’s secretary general, Martin Nyakundi O’barimo said that the association had received complaints that Radio Maisha had also entered into the murky waters of playing “partisan journalism”.

He asserted that this happens during the breakfast show hosted by Mshamba, Jalang’o and Mwakideo as well as during the Sikika Sasa programme. O’barimo also added that the association holds Radio Maisha in high esteem and hoped that the complaints were not true.

“We are asking Wellington Nyongesa,the head of programmes to follow up on the matter and maintain the dignity of his station,” concluded the statement.
