There was a time, and not so long ago, when getting Kitui
county news used to be very difficult. You see, Kitui is a very vast county –
much bigger than some nations – and it can therefore be very hard to
keep tabs on what is happening in all corners of Kitui.
Thankfully, it has of late become easier to access Kitui
county news.
One of the best ways to get Kitui county news [especially if
you are within the county] is through radio. I was surprised, the last time I
visited Kitui county, to notice that there are so many local radio stations.
From a time when we used to struggle to get any radio frequency, now we find
ourselves spoilt for choice with regard to Kamba radio stations in Kitui. Some of
the radio stations in question here include County FM, Syokimau FM, Athiani FM,
Wikwatyo FM. Most of these have a special focus on Kitui county news. Then
there are the 'other' Kamba radio stations -- which may be based out of Kitui, but nonetheless carry a
substantial amount of Kitui news: including Musyi FM, Mwatu FM and Mbaitu FM as
well as the Makueni-based Ene FM.
Then
there is Kitui county social media. So you find that there are numerous Whatsapp groups created by and frequented by Kitui county folks, where you can find the sort of
information that would never find its way into the mainstream media. Completed with photos and videos recorded in real time for most of the 'stories'. This is
also where you find the various Kitui county Facebook pages. It is just a
question of searching diligently, and you would eventually find social media
platforms hosting the juiciest of Kitui county news. But you of course have to
be aware of the fact that the Kitui news you will be finding at Whatsapp,
Facebook and so on may not necessarily be accurate, but it does for sure give you a
hint on what is happening within Kitui…
