Maina Kageni Defends KTN, Citizen And NTV Against Ban To Go Digital. This Is What He Said

The Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) made one of the most hostile moves yesterday where it withdrew the license awarded to three major media houses to shift to digital broadcasting.

The move came after the three TV stations ran an advertisement that warned consumers from buying GOTv and Startimes decorders, saying that they were infringing on copyright by airing their content without permission.

And as a way of standing with the three media houses, Classic 105’s Maina Kageni has bashed the CAK for its biasness and desire to shut down the four TV stations.

Speaking during his morning show, Maina and King’ang’I, on Classic 105, the flamboyant presenter advised that the CAK allow Royal Media Services, Nation Media Group and Standard Group Limited to purchase their own digital boxes, just like the other two foreign companies.

The three media houses have said they are moving to court to compel the CAK to rescind the decision which aims at curtailing media freedom and freedom to information by Kenyans.
