Closing Of Baite TV. Over time concerns have been raised on the professionalism and the ethics of the media station. Although the station might be popular with the people and can also be classified as a populist media station they seem to have overlooked fundamental media ethics.

Over the last few years Baite TV has grown to be one of the most viewed TV stations in the Larger Meru region spanning all the way to Tharaka Nithi and Embu counties. The TV station has maintained some loyal die-hard fan base despite its unorthodox way of reporting. Over time concerns have been raised on the professionalism and the ethics of the media station. Although the station might be popular with the people and can also be classified as a populist media station they seem to have overlooked fundamental media ethics. In my analysis I find the following misconducts emanating from the media station. Accuracy and fairness It is no secret that the station is owned and run in close supervision by the Meru Women County Rep, Kawira Mwangaza. It is no crime to own and run a media house but it is crime to break the laws and ethics concerning journalism and reporting. In the Code of Conduct for the Practice of Journalism as entrenched in the Second Schedule of the Med...

Embracing the challenges of living with dyslexia

Munene Mutwiri was five years old when he first started school. And like any other child, he had to read the alphabet, form words and sentences and count basic numbers. However, his case was different. He had a lot of mispronunciations, performed poorly in Mathematics, and read some words backwards. Once, in a Literature class, he read ‘flashback’ as ‘back flash,’ to the amusement of his classmates. Most of the time, he would see the second name before the first, and mathematical formulae appeared as diagrams since numbers did not make a lot of sense to him, a problem he still encounters to date. As a child, he preferred and loved when his teachers narrated stories rather than have him read them. Now in his mid-20s, he still prefers listening to audiobooks to reading a text novel. At home, his family took him to numerous eye clinics thinking he had an eye problem but deep inside, he knew his eyes were okay, and his reading problems had something to do wit...

The mental state of the Kenyan men and women in uniform.

Kenya's top military leadership. In Kenya criticism of the military and in general the disciplined force is a taboo and their health is rarely discussed. But when soldiers and police men and women start misbehaving in the public; they invite civilians to ask questions. What is the mental state of the Kenyan men and women in uniform? For a long time the public has believed that by paying and equipping The Kenya Defence Forces and The Kenya Police Service well, they would eventually be able to get rid of their erratic behaviors towards the public. I have a great admiration of the military. My great grandfather served in the World War 1, my grandfather fought in the Mau Mau war for independence and three of my brothers are currently serving or have served in various capacities in the KDF. Inside the fancy uniforms of the military and the police service is a person having a mental breakdown. One of my brothers joined the Kenya Army straight after high school in ...

DAD I Need You

As a young boy growing up on the slopes of Mt. Kenya, I always looked forward to when my dad would come home for his leave. One of the sweetest memories I have of him is when I asked him if he would bring me fish when he comes back from Naivasha where he worked. Four months later, to my amusement, he arrived on a cold chilly evening with his backpack and fresh fish hooked on a string. This was significant because then, in the early 2000s, mobile phones were rare and I had not been in touch with him. Though my mother boiled the fish in water and it turned out to be “ Mashakura ” (boiling up all the food ingredients together) as she had never cooked fish before, I knew I was always on my dad's mind and that he loved me dearly. But lately, things have taken a different turn And now, he has not spoken to me for a whole month. We argued the last time we talked, and said some nasty things too. Now I’m sad and angry. Sad because he has stayed away too long and...
