Famous Vernacular Radio Station Warned For Incitement

One of the dozen radio vernacular radio stations owned by Royal Media Services (RMS) may soon find itself in trouble for comments allegedly made by callers during one of its shows.

This morning on Egesa FM during the breakfast show hosted by Sorobvi Moturi Erastus and Petronila allegedly allowed callers to claim on air that the elections were rigged. According to Television Viewers and Radio Listeners Association of Kenya Facebook page, such comments are bound to create animosity, bad blood and distaste between supporters of Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga.

The statement continued saying, “We have already informed the Head of Operations at Police headquarters and the Media Complaints Committee at Media Council of Kenya.”
