"We can also cooperate at the level of opening our media space to each other, for example, currently, two hours China Central Television Channel 9 are broadcasted through Kenya Broadcast Corporation everyday, and I hope we can have an arrangement (in the future) in which the Chinese media organization can offer some space for us so that the Chinese people can have better understanding of Kenya."
