1. I would enjoy watching our traditional creation stories being told in dramatization eg the house of Mumbi and Gikuyu and the 9 or is it 10 daughters. The Maasai descending from heaven with their cows.
2. The legend behind Kit-Mikayi and other legends
3. An expose/documentary about the pyramid schemes eg DECI and all the others.

5. Celebrate the successes of our times eg the birth of Bidco, Equity, KCB bla bla
6. Highlight the issues that led to the downfall of parastatals that were eg KICOMI RIVERTEX

Indeed the education in them would be enormous besides that, it would promote our cultural diversity and promote integration. Our kids need to learn more about our culture and celebrate our heroes.

Isn't it strange that despite the country teeming with wildlife, all wildlife documentaries have been made by foreigners, who then sell the docs to us. We should have been the ones selling such material to the rest of the world. Laziness? Lack of creativity?

Kitambo vok/kbc used to have those nice documentaries, they were mostly geared towards culture but were very informative - but back then the national broadcaster was being fully funded by the government. When the government cut back funding and the national broadcaster was required to raise a good chunk of revenue, plus the private broadcasters came in and poached the top talent huko vok/kbc then that was the end of that. Worst case is that the private broadcasters realized there was too much money to be made in politics, and creativity had to be pushed back.

Also needed is someone to tell Kenya's history during the struggle for independence. Its one story that remains hidden till you read a book or two (Britain's Gulag and History of the Hanged)... would make a captivating movie based on a true story)

Mombasa Djini stories About the underground rivers in Naivasha, someone once told me that there's some marsh land somewhere in Limuru or there about where people have been "swallowed" and their bodies show up in L. Naivasha. 11. Geo explore track the origin of R. Tana and Athi Ewaso Nyiro from source to destination highlighting the activities that take place on those rivers. 12 Geo explore the mzima springs...did you know that there's a water tank called "Nzai" that sits on piece of land, equivalent to an acre with no fence the iron sheets covering the tank are rusty. The tank has a capacity of 13,000 cm3, which is equivalent to 13 million milliliters. I asked the Env cabinet secretary if the water is safe for human consumption and she said that she has asked the Nol Turesh water company to carry out some tests...that was the last i heard from her. 13. Track the traditional trade routes from Mombasa to DRC congo trying to capture what those traders went through. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.
