A report by PeaceNet Kenya on the content of Vernacular and community stations in relation to peace building efforts in Kenya has faulted ethnic based FM stations for perpetuating negative ethnicity at the expense of the country's tranquility.
Based on the report, the ministry of information and communications is set to formulate media monitoring policies on content in broadcast stations with emphasis on peace building and conflict early warning and mitigation ahead of the referendum.
Speaking at the launch of a media monitoring report targeting vernacular and community FM stations, Communications assistant minister Dhadho Godhana says the move is a proactive measure to control spread of harmful information that may jeopardize the country's stability during the referendum and ahead of 2012 elections.
