During the post-election crisis in Kenya at the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008, several radio stations which operate in local languages broadcast comments inciting the violence which left over 1,000 people dead. This time around, the government has created a commission to monitor the media, which has revealed dozens of examples of speech to be investigated.
