 Kenya could halt BBC broadcasts
Foreign radio stations in Kenya may be prevented from broadcasting if
reciprocal licences are not granted, a government minister has warned.

The UK, US and China had all been put on notice, Assistant Information
Minister Koigi wa Wamwere said.

"If we are allowing BBC to broadcast in Kenya, KBC (Kenya Broadcasting
Corporation) should also be in London," Mr Wamwere said at a state function.

He said a refusal to reciprocate would be treating Kenyans "like idiots".

The BBC has some 12 million listeners in Kenya - with about half that number
listening in Swahili.
