Dear Members, Friends and Partners,

Today at 11.00am, we paid a Courtesy Call at The Communication Centre where we were received by Ms Faridah Karoney- the Editorial Director- Royal Media Services Ltd and taken round by Ms Winnie Kungania- Head of Radio Muuga.

Our Treasurer Mr. Fred Banja and I had gone to The Royal Media Services Ltd to appreciate and acknowledge The Media House for her outstanding, educative, innovative and transformative ways of News Anchoring and Journalism.

All the Stations run by the Royal Media Services Ltd have maintained decent levels of civility and decorum and are a joy to Family Listening. You will never be ashamed listening to their programmes even in the company of your Mother-in-Law.

Secondly, The Royal Media Services Ltd, especially The Power Breakfast Show and Radio Ramogi have hosted Odhiambo T Oketch several times on topical issues that have impacted very positively with many Kenyans and it is out of such partnerships that The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC, Kimisho Community Development Network-KCDN and Kimisho Sacco Society Ltd have been born.

We hence decided as The Kimisho Family to also show our appreciation by offering the following;

To The Royal Media Services Ltd- our Letter and Certificate of Appreciation in honouring how they have maintained civility and decorum in the way their Journalists anchor their Programmes.

To The Power Breakfast Show- our Letter and Certificate of Appreciation in honouring their incisive news analysis and programme hosting.

To Radio Citizen- our Letter and Certificate of Appreciation in honouring their incisive news analysis and programme hosting. Mr. Lincoln Njogu has been outstanding here with his witty analysis.

To Cheche- our Letter and Certificate of Appreciation in honouring their incisive news analysis and programme hosting.

To Mr. Ben Oluoch Okello- our Letter and Certificate of Appreciation in honouring his morning devotion and Ramogi Baraza Talk Show which has been very informative and educative.

To Mr. Charles Odhiambo- our Letter and Certificate of Appreciation in honouring his late night programme and the Talk Show which has been very informative and educative.

To Mr. Felix Oguyo- our Letter and Certificate of Appreciation in honouring his witty and very informative day time programme.

We are One Family who believe that we can unite as a People and make it happen. At Kimisho, we will not seek what the Government can do for us. We will initiate our own process that can compliment what the Government is doing for us. And we will work closely with such Media Partners in driving our Programmes across Kenya.
