For The First Time Media Houses Broadcast Their Shows Live From State House (Photos)

For the longest time in the history of Kenya, the State House has been a no-go-zone to the media leave alone the ordinary mwananchi. However, when the Jubilee Coalition took over the realms of power, the ‘House on The Hill’ has literally become a public asset. In President Uhuru Kenyatta shocked many when he hosted little-known Daniel Owira aka Otonglo Boy at the State House and even took him on a tour around the official residence of the President of Kenya.

The President has also become a darling of the media and at one time even invited members of the press for a cup of tea at the State House. Well, the Jubilee Government is marking 100 days in power today and President Uhuru is due to meet editors from Kenya’s media houses at State House Friday morning, just so you know Ghafla! has been invited for the event and will be represented fully by ‘Baba Ghafla!’ Majani and the mischevious Uncle Chim Tuna.

Moving on swiftly, the President Friday morning allowed a couple of media houses to host their breakfast shows at State House grounds. Among them were Capital FM and NTV which both had their respective presenters broadcast live to their audiences from State House.
