 By Glen Don

THE MEDIA COUNCIL’S VISIT TO KISII UNIVERSITY

The Kisii University Media students on Saturday 10, February will have the privilege of meeting their umbrella body, the Media Council of Kenya (MCK).

The MCK’s official visit will commence tomorrow Saturday until Monday 12, February with various activities set to take place within the period of the visit.

In the schedule, on Saturday the opening activity will be Students' talk and career guidance, on Sunday it will be sports day where Kisii Journalists will have a match against Kisumu journalists and on Monday there will be a separate round-table meeting with the lecturers, training for the journalists, lecturers and students then finally training for communication team and journalists on access to information. This will mark the end of their three-day visit to Kisii.

Apart from these, the MCK is expected to aid the students who have qualified to be media practitioners and communication experts in obtaining their Press Cards. A card that is essential in the field of journalism and communication just as a business license.

The grace of processing the Media Press Card will be a blessing to the third-year students who are proceeding with their industrial attachment in the month of May.

The expectations of the students that I am part of towards their visitors are high from them just as some of the Lecturers within the Department of Communication Media and Information Science.

The lecturers are elated that their students have the privilege of being trained before their awaiting fieldwork

The Communication and Media falls under the School of Information Science at Kisii University and has students of about five hundred and above.

The session all-round will help the students learn and have matters that have disturbed them concerning their profession and passion deciphered, all Media students are therefore urged to attend the event that will be held at Amphitheatre Hall behind the Main Library.

Karibuni wageni. Welcome our Visitors.

The Room of two contradicting speeches

The miss link in communication in the Government as a unit is a puzzle. President William Ruto was today on May 3, expected to address the nation on the state of the nation in regard to the flood. Just before the President addressed the nation, there was a memo circulating already of how the school reopening would go on as planned. The Ministry of Education while addressing the safety of the learners through the memo directed that the School Board of Management to ensure that the learners are ready for learning and precautionary measures are undertaken to avoid hindrances. Later, two hours after the memo, the President addressed the nation and ordered that the postponement of school reopening be suspended until further notice. Out of the impossible, the ministry of education seemed to be having the stand of opening schools. The Education Cabinet Secretary seems to be under pressure when he was releasing the memo since the last was released on the wee hours of the morning hence today...
