Roles of journalists are very crucial before,during and after election.This is brought about by political parties wanting to lead the country leading to competative language rising the tention and political violence mostly resulting into conflict.The media therefore is the primary catalyst during this period more so the local or community media houses around. Welcome Joash Oloo .

Joash : Thanks Edna for this chance am Joash Oloo Athee a journalist from Gulf radio.We normally find
It rough during these period of election. What we air before,during and after election has a positive or negative impact on our people.One of the things we should do is to ensure that there is equal opportunity to all aspirants during their compaigns to avoid being bias and because we are also human beings and can take sides. Do not show openly the side you are supporting,our politicians too compain by alligation. We should give the other parties opportunities to defend themselves.

Presenter: Thanks so much Joash for the insights that can help our journalist to ensure there is peaceful election. lets give time to another journalist from Gulf radio to explain more points. Welcome Dan.

We should filter what we can not air moreso what can course division among ethnic and Religious groups
Not only what we discuss in studio matters but also what we discuss while we are outside because we can be judged agaist what we say. We should also check and varify what we found on our social media accounts before sharing or airing it.
