You are right.
I fully support this move, and the earlier circular from Chirchir that no govt body buys and media space to congratulate President-Elect Ruto. The likes of Mwarimo will fulminate and throw shade, but with that one move alone the new government has saved the taxpayer upwards of Sh400 million (a full page ad in Nation costs around Ksh800,000 for context, while a 30 second clip on Citizen can cost 200k).
Imagine all counties (47), parastatals (about 250), ministries, universities, colleges, departments, etc etc lining up to pay both the print and electronic media millions !
Uhuru had made an effort to eliminate this ripoff by our so-called media by establishing GAA but his infantile need to be loved sabotaged the whole effort...
