Sometimes the broadcasters work together to generate a common signal that they can all tap into (it is much cheaper and much less untidy ie we do not have camera people jostling) and they pool the cost.

This one of paying a contractor to generate the feed is new.

Are media houses prohibited from doing this during the inauguration?

Summary
  • The meeting by the Kenya delegation to Uganda has been postponed four times in the past year, delaying the resumption of normal trade on dairy products between the two countries.
  • The Ugandan Cabinet had in mid-December directed the Agriculture ministry to identify and list Kenyan products that would be banned by Kampala “in a short time,” forcing Nairobi to move with speed in addressing the impasse to safeguard the Ugandan exports.
  • The two countries have had trade disputes running for years now after Kenya confiscated milk from Uganda and banned the imports of the commodity.

Trade talks aimed at resolving the outstanding issues on milk importation between Uganda and Kenya are set to start in March after many false starts.

Kenya’s Principal Secretary for Livestock Harry Kimtai said Nairobi has already communicated to Kampala, through its foreign affairs office.

Mr Kimtai, who is the head of the Kenyan delegation, said they are reviewing guidelines issued by Uganda.

“We have agreed with Uganda that we will visit the country next month for a verification mission that will help us resolve the outstanding issues on milk once and for all,” said Mr Kimtai.

Kenya wants to ascertain that the milk that comes from Uganda is produced by local farmers, following allegations that the product is imported from third-party countries as powder and reconstituted before it is exported as fresh.

What could happen if the local media choose to ignore the inauguration ceremony instead of contracting the third party? How many people use DStv?

KBC would reap a good one.

There is an upside in all this, when left to local broadcasters the best they can do is 720P content, DSTV will give us 1080P content which should be the bare minimum.

The public broadcaster KBC cannot meet its financial obligations due to huge debts and outstanding loans, ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru has revealed. Mucheru said KBC has debts amounting to Sh4.2 billion and is unable to repay a Japanese loan of Sh79.9 billion. “The national broadcaster is technically insolvent. The debts are both recurrent and development,” Mucheru told the Senate Standing Committee on ICT on Wednesday. A company becomes technically insolvent when it has a negative net asset value- its liabilities are greater than its assets. Mucheru, however, told senators his ministry is looking at ways of addressing the challenges facing the national broadcaster, saying it plays a critical role in the development of the country. “The financial problems mean that KBC is unable to undertake reforms recommended in the National ICT Policy,” he explained. He said KBC staff are never paid on time and are, as a result, highly demoralised. "The financial woes mean that KBC is unable to maintain equipment, implement development projects and achieve its obligations.” Mucheru added that KBC is faced with an aging staff, with its coverage being only three per cent of the market share. He said his ministry is having discussions with the National Treasury with a view to bailing out the state corporation. “KBC needs funding to improve infrastructure, revamp its content, restructure the balance sheet, rationalise staff and re-brand,” he added. Mucheru said Sh11.2 billion is needed in the next five years to get the national broadcaster out of the financial difficulties. “KBC further requires an additional funding of Sh1.8 billion annually. The draft memo is currently with the National Treasury awaiting their input,” he said. ICT Principal Secretary Esther Koimett said they are waiting for correspondence from National Treasury. “Once it is completed, we will be able to start the process of dealing with the challenges,” she said. KBC managing director Naim Bilal promised to revamp the corporation with the support of the government. “We have very clear strategies and comprehensive plans of how we want to turn around KBC,” he said. Nominated Senator Petronilla Were said the National Treasury should take over the loan from Japan. “If it is written off, it will be a great thing. We have been saving the national carrier Kenya Airways all the time. Why can't we save KBC?” she posed. She added that there should be a policy requiring a certain percentage of adverts to go to KBC. The committee vice chair Abshiro Halake asked the ministry to provide timelines of their course of action. “With the timelines, we will be able to track the progress being made to save KBC,” she explained. Troubles in KBC are believed to have started in 1989 when the public broadcaster signed a contract with the Japan Telecommunications Engineering Consultancy Service (JETC) for a Sh1 billion loan to buy equipment to improve and expand broadcasting network. And in 1991, KBC signed a contract with Marubeni Corporation of Tokyo for upgrading medium wave transmitting stations and construction of new ones
