SECTOR 2 Nation Media Group, Radio Africa Group and a few others. The Royal Media for example owns over 60 broadcast frequencies. The law has been largely reactive to these developments. The Kenya Communications Amendment Act 2008 tried to restrict concentration. It advocates “fair” competition. The ICT policy of 2006 proposes that in order to promote diversity of views and freedom of expression, concentration of ownership of print and electronic media in a few hands will be discouraged. Limits to cross media ownership will therefore be set through regulations to be issued from time to time and through competition laws13. One of the very recent developments and which may be interpreted to be in line with the ICT policy of 2006 of ‘issuing regulations from time to time’ is the enactment of the Kenya Communications (Broadcasting Authority) Regulations 200914 which in article 10 (1) on ownership and control points out that “no person other than the public broadcaster shall be directly, entitled to more than one broadcast frequency or channel for radio or television in the same coverage areas. Provided that CCK shall prescribe a time frame for existing stations to comply with this requirement”. And in article (10) (6) “a broadcaster shall not lease or transfer broadcast frequencies or channels assigned to it to any other person without the written authority of the CCK”.
