Broadcasting and Telecommunications Principal Secretary nominee Stephen Isaboke has vowed to uphold media freedom and engage industry stakeholders in resolving challenges.
Speaking during his vetting on Friday, April 4, Isaboke distanced himself from his predecessor, Edward Kisiang'ani, saying he would not use his position to suppress the media. ''I will work together with media houses and engage them.
I will do an engagement approach for the media and the public,'' he said.
Isaboke, who declared a net worth of Sh680 million-including land, apartments, cars, shares, and cash-also promised to address journalists' working conditions and payments. "If approved, I will first assess the root issues and ensure all outstanding dues to journalists are settled.
