I am beginning to understand the dilemma facing the Office of the Administrator after looking at Aly-Khan Satchu’s blog.
This is what Michela Wrong has to say about our media, The Virtual Republic of Kenya included:
Extract)Shortly before handing Uhuru his winner’s certificate, the chairman of the election commission congratulated the Kenyan media on their “exemplary behavior.” As he did, the
screen above his head was showing figures that did not add up.
Any journalist (media) worth their salt should start feeling itchy when praised by those in authority.

Aly-Khan Satchu then responds:
''I’m convinced, because domestic coverage, while increasingly slick, has been so lifeless. It sometimes feels as though a zombie army has taken up position where Kenya’s feisty media used to be, with local reporters going glaze-eyed through the motions.''That’s just an extraordinary Paragraph. Its Tone is so patronizing and dismissive. Its the Tone Michela. It’s Hysteria denudes your Bona Fides.
We have an Independent Supreme Court now.
We are no longer taking the Fight to the Streets.
Please find it in your mind to cut the abuse and imagine a different Future to the one
You have been reporting on for the last 20 Years.Nothing further.
