Our attention has been drawn to a clip that was uploaded on the website SOUNDCLOUD titled “Get Vote out Kikuyu Style” and allegedly said to have originated from our leading Kikuyu language station, Kameme FM. Without confirming the authenticity of the same, contributors on Social Media and some bloggers have picked up the clip and purported its origin was Kameme FM.

Mediamax Networks, where Kameme FM is a member, would like to categorically state that this clip did not originate from our studios and has never been broadcast on our station. As proof of the same, Mediamax Networks, has submitted to the relevant authorities, recordings of all our programmes during the last week and have asked them to also conduct their own investigations into the origins of the clip and on which stations it was aired.
We would like to reiterate that we at Mediamax are committed to working towards peaceful elections and shun every form of negative tribalism, fear or incitement to violence. We would like to also remind our esteemed listeners and advertisers that Mediamax Network upholds dearly the principles of media law and ethics which is an essential guide in the way we operate.
