GOODIES FOR KISII MEDIA STUDENTS FROM MCK

 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.

SINGAPORE AND KENYA: DAY AND NIGHT

Kenya got its independence 1963 from the British colony, while Singapore got it two years in the month of August 9, 1965 from Malaysia after they had intense political differences which resulted to racial riots. Standing on the mirror line reflecting on the two countries between Kenya and Singapore, Kenya is extremely behind Singapore in terms of development.  Singapore hastily rose from third world country to first world country while Kenya still maintained the third world class.  Recently, Kenya's President Dr. William Ruto, is full of comparison statements: between Kenya and Singapore. Surprisingly, the phrase of boosting Kenya's world class has taken a beautiful twist where every politician is dreaming of Kenya to be futuristically the same level as Singapore. Pausing a bit, what's a dream? pondering on this; a dream literally means imaginary events while sleeping.  Our politicians are forgetting the dogmatic saying that goes 'action speaks louder than...

THE CHANGE EXPECTED IN REVERSE: GEN Z'S FADING STRENGTH

Photo Courtesy   Waking up to find the sun rising from the West and not East at dawn is enough to signal a whirl of change in the cosmological history. As a product of imagination it can be, who knew Gen Z would emerge as with a wave of change in a sundry of generations unexpectedly.  With this wave, the political sphere in every country worldwide is experiencing an overhaul.  Recently, protests have marred different countries with calls for change.  Bangladesh, Nepal, Morocco, Madagascar, Kenya are some of the countries that have at least tasted the pinch of the GenZ protests, while some of the protests have resulted in a change in the political sphere of the affected countries others have left less impact with mission and vision unreached due to fanciful impulse.  Generation Z, globally have not only expressed their anger through anger through protests and demonstrations, but also in politics where some of the African countries like Seychelles and...

NOT-NOW: HAVE SOME HUMANITY

photo courtesy (unknown) A person cannot retract a message that has reached a mass audience invariant of where it was said. One of the characteristics of communication is that you cannot uncommunicate.  A silent person remains wise until he utters a word. His Excellency Mutahi Kahiga might exemplify this phrase considering his tracenda during his speech at a funeral in Kiambu county, where he was addressing them in the local dialect.  Mr. Kahiga, seems to be deficient in emotions especially concerning the latest tragedy that befell the country when he cast aspersions on Raila Odinga's demise.  Raila Odinga, without doubt was akin to mumbo-jumbo within the luo community yet to his capacity during his lifetime did he not only benefit the Luo but became a national figure and perhaps a trademark in Kenya's politics.  In the history of human life, man is mortal and from soil we come, to soil shall we return. Regardless of the circumstances, man is...
