Citizen TV, Radio Citizen, Inooro FM, and Inooro TV are among the most recognisable television and radio stations in Kenya.
But their birth was nothing short of a battle between President Daniel Arap Moi's regime and founder Dr SK Macharia.
Speaking during the burial of Col (Rtd) James Gitahi in Machakos on Saturday, Royal Media Services (RMS) Chairman SK Macharia revealed the battle with Cabinet Secretaries that led to the birth of RMS in 1999. "Royal Media Services was started because of Raila's father," he said.
According to the outspoken media mogul, RMS was created due to disappointment from the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC).
