"if we wanted, we could have conducted this morning's #DayBreak show on @citizentvkenya entirely in Kibukusu. Royal media should now give us Mulembe TV!" Sifuna stated.
Sifuna remarks came a day after RMS launched a new brand under its shelf known as Ramogi TV for the Nyanza people. The TV station is purely in the Dholuo language and has one of its stations in Kisumu.
