But then the question is: what sort of news are these so called KBC journalist
going to broadcast presumably from Washington DC,USA or London , England to
Kenyans in Nairobi or Mombasa Kenya?
I do not think Politicians in Both Washington and London have anything to
hide, unlike their counter parts in Kenya who have a lot to hide.
For instance that fact that corruption among Kenya politicians is rampant,is
self evident.
The BBC and other Western Media Organization have, over the years, been
exposing such corruption among Key Kenyan politicians. It follows therefore,
that Kenyans would rather tune in to listen to the BBC broadcast if only to get
the latest news about an exposed Corrupt Kenyan politician.
KBC of course is NOT going to find any story about a corrupt British
Politicians which could be of interest to Kenyans and thus propel Kenyans to
Tune and listen to a dispatch from KBC journalist based in London England.
This Africans are really funny!

Kenya could halt BBC broadcasts
The BBC has rebroadcasting deals and 24-hour relays in Kenya
Foreign radio stations in Kenya may be prevented from broadcasting if
reciprocal licences are not granted, a government minister has warned. The
UK, US and China had all been put on notice, Assistant Information Minister
Koigi wa Wamwere said. "If we are allowing BBC to broadcast in Kenya, KBC
(Kenya Broadcasting Corporation) should also be in London," Mr Wamwere said at
a state function. He said a refusal to reciprocate would be treating Kenyans
"like idiots". The BBC has some 12 million listeners in Kenya - with about
half that number listening in Swahili. KBC should also be allowed to
broadcast in Washington and Beijing, he added, as Voice of America and Radio
China broadcast in Kenya. The BBC has rebroadcasting deals with five radio
stations in the country and 24-hour relays in Kisumu, Mombasa and the capital,
Nairobi. ''If BBC does not reciprocate our giving them a licence here by
giving us a chance in London, then we are not going to have mercy because
that is treating us like idiots and we shall not allow it," Kenya's People
newspaper quotes the minister as saying. "So they should either give us a
licence in London or go." The minister also spoke to the BBC in Nairobi about
the issue. Diplomatic relations between the UK and Kenya have been strained
since 2004 when former UK envoy to Kenya Sir Edward Clay accused unnamed
corrupt officials of behaving "like gluttons" and "vomiting on the shoes" of
donors. Last week, a British foreign office minister, Kim Howells, warned
that endemic corruption in Kenya had made it a target for drug traffickers and
increasingly vulnerable to terrorism.
