NTV is set to unveil a political show, as media houses in the country re-arrange their programs ahead of the August polls.
The media house on Thursday, July 7, 2022, unveiled a promo video for the new TV show that will be hosted by news anchor Olive Burrows.
The programme will be set in neighbourhoods across the country and seeks to give the common mwananchi a platform to debate and speak on issues directly affecting their communities.
Dubbed "We The People" the new NTV show will air every Saturday evening starting this weekend.
Burrows will meet with the local mwananchi in various neighbourhoods and set up a form of 'baraza' where locals will debate a range of issues such as the poor state of roads, water and sanitation in various areas in Nairobi County.
In the promo video released on Thursday, Kenyans raised issues with their leaders with some opining that elected leaders went missing from the neighbourhoods four years ago after they won the elections.
The featured citizens noted that now that the polls were just beckoning, the same leaders were back in their poor neighbourhoods moving door to door and making promises that they failed to fulfil when they were seeking support in 2017.
NTV has been launching new shows as they seek to revamp their newsroom and programme lineup ahead of the August polls.
In June, NTV launched a new show christened Front and Centre that focuses on political issues.
The show hosted by assignments editor Ben Kitili delved into governance issues as well matters of national interests in what he promised would be the biggest of its kind.
"Join us every Thursday night as we help you make sense of the country's politics and tackle the real issues. Front and Centre, Thursdays at 9 PM. Keeping tabs on the pulse of the nation" he stated.
A sneak peek of the show revealed that it would digest politics, especially as the clock ticks towards the August polls and politicians push their agenda through the media, to woo voters.
"Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance and that is where we come in to separate the wheat from the chaff, fact from fiction," stated Kitili
