The Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) has sent a 14-day warning to the country’s media stations to cut down on betting-related broadcasts. According to CAK, limits have apparently been broken by several broadcasters, with the watchdog forced to issue the ultimatum.
The CAK has threatened to take away licenses from those overextending the broadcast of gambling content. According to KDRTV, the body won’t tolerate rule-breaking any further.
Speaking in a press release, the CAK said:
“The Communications Authority is committed to ensuring that broadcasters operate within the confines of their licenses and in accordance with the Programming Code. Failure to comply within the stipulated period will result in regulatory action, including possible revocation of broadcast licenses.”
