Guys,, I think the SMS opinion polls are OK.

In other channels (digitized) - you press the blue button if you agree, or the red button if you disagree

 (doesnt give you a chance to air your opinion does it ??)

However, the biggest problem as it would be is that Kenya is still in the "censorship" age, media houses are afraid of "rattling the snake"...

Reason I say this is because, sometimes they ask something really controversial,,, and we send our opinions enthusiastically and very opinionated ...

But Alas!

Come end of news and reading results - two things happen (that time you are expecting Fuaya smses)

a) they read some two or three reaaaallly polite and watered down smses - mpaka you wonder if its a Tanzanian who sent that one

b) they dont show nothing at all - they say "unfortunately we cudnt post...bla bla" 

This actually happened when one day i was watching news, when they asked something that was bound to generate poll opinions about something popular Raila had done againist the gova
