Government says it owes media houses Sh332m for ‘MyGov’ circulation
Broadcast and Telecommunications Principal Secretary Edward Kisiangani. A document Mr Kisiang’ani presented to the Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly indicates that Sh873.11 million was owed to the media houses as at June 30, 2021.
The government says it owes print media outlets in the country Sh332.3 million in pending bills for circulating MyGov, which is published by the Government Advertising Agency (GAA).
This comes as the MPs piled pressure on the government to clear the bills to forestall any lay-offs due to depressed revenue. The Media Owners Association, however, put the figure at Sh1.2 billion, inclusive of services rendered by the electronic media, cleared for payment.
