Back in the day, KBC would air programmes that were then considered immoral well after 10:30 p.m And this included any programme kissing, pecking or even a hug was part of the script. Remember when programes like 'Tahamaki', 'Tushauriane' and the likes were aired? Situations where anything that was 'unAfrican' was not aired. Relate this to Alfred Mutua's 'Cobra Squad'. The reason as to why it's a challenge to control the airwaves is the liberalization in almost all spheres. In a free economy state like Kenya's, it's quit hard to reign in on errant traders, unfortunately. But to restore hope: a) Sign the petition b) Let's wait for Alex Gakuru's Board to tell us what they've so far done.
BTW, I've heard people complain about the Soko Ugali advert. See how people can deviate thir minds geatly?
