Just days after the landmark ruling on digital migration, debate over the proportion of local content on television and radio has emerged.

Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) together with Kenya Film Commission on one end are insisting that all local television stations and radios must carry a majority local content in order to encourage talent growth and create employment.
