Nairobi's Kiss FM radio station

is the one station that has most consistently challenged Kibaki's illegal ban on live broadcasts. And continued to bring voices for Peace With Truth and Justice to Kenyans.

So I was delighted to be invited onto their Big Breakfast show yesterday, to share excerpts and talk about my Letter to Kivuitu. I also recorded a reading of the full letter for them. If their lawyers give the go-ahead, Kiss FM will lay down a musical soundtrack under the words, and play the piece as often as they can, on all their shows.

hi shailja first i want to thank you for airing your bitterness,anyway its really good for the heart but really ive got many querries to pose to you.1.do you really mean that kiss 100 is the only station that is preaching peace sincerely or its becoz they r the pple that gave you a chance to go to the station and gave credit to your letter pliz listen to other stations too.2.where have we experienced mass destruction in kenya?in areas where people lack knowledge.will you go on burning destroying your house since your father has not given you what you need and you claim you are fighting for democracy,imagine we are really ashamed by our brothers and sisters in nyanza ,eldoret and western,kibera e.t.c i hope the way they are destroying our country they will live to regret since right now kisumu is suffering.so i would ask you to write this people a letter and not pple who are already in the payroll for their monthly salary while we are fighting and yet we have no jobs no food in stock instead of leaving them to foght for their own interests.im really ashamed and shocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
