About Us

The history of our country (Kenya) is replete with plunder and abuse of our country’s God-given resources. Colonialism and neo-colonialism have witnessed wanton destruction of the nature’s blessings to the detriment of societal development. The gap between the poor and the rich has continued to widen year by year. The equality levels are unimaginable. This has contributed very much to the class-grouping kind of life. The uper and the middle class have continued to enjoy the services not only from the government but also media coverage and access while leaving the poor, and who are the majority, in the dark. Although some main-stream meadia have done a remarkable job in informing the poeple, they are commerce-centred and in the process deprive a large section of population who are poor the opportunity to get and share information and communication. This, however, should not be agonized about as aptly advised by Franz Fanon thus; “it is from the underdeveloped people that a new society is built on”. This provides the impetus for the institutionalization of a people-based approach to development necessitating the birth of the first ever Community Radio in Nairobi, Koch FM 99.9Mhz.
