DIGITAL MIGRATION.
Sometimes Kenyans suffer a lot when it comes to decisions being made especially by the governing bodies.When a poor Kenyan struggles to buy a simple television like the greatwall,it is out of a day to day struggle.The issue of state trying to pull off air the top three TV stations should be protested by the media organizations and professional institutions associated with it. Let us not look at it in the name of unethical advertisements but prioritize the right of Kenyans to get access to information.The government should in other words look for ways of dealing with the ethics and in competencies in the media organizations rather extending the problem to the poor Kenyan who has the right to access information cheaply and at the appropriate time.
Digitizing someone who finds hard even to meet his/her basic needs is just but a fruitless decision, let us think first of filling the gap we have in terms of health and education then the digital migration will have more than enough room to take effect.The TV stations are trying to make it easy for the public to access information hence a better way of solving it is not pulling them off air, a mistake has been made in the advert but a solution is there but not being too punitive.
