\nThe Apostolic Vicariate of Isiolo now has a new radio
\nstation \u2013 Radio Shahidi 97.1<\/i> FM. The
\nradio, whose slogan is \u201cShahidi wa Amani
\nna Imani\u201d,<\/i> (Witness to Peace and Faith) aims to propagate peace in the
\nsemi-arid region that is prone to conflict over natural resources.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn an exclusive interview with the Waumini Communications Team
\nin Isiolo on the sidelines of the launch of the radio, the Apostolic Vicar of
\nIsiolo, Rt. Rev. Anthony Ireri Mukobo expressed joy at the milestone that the
\nVicariate has reached with the establishment of the new Catholic radio.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cRadio Shahidi will be an avenue for building peace in Isiolo
\nCounty and beyond,\u201d said Bishop Ireri. \u201cIt will also serve as a tool to promote
\npastoral work in the Vicariate and also help in educating the people on
\ndevelopmental programs as one way of attaining self-sustainability.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe bishop said over the years, Isiolo County has experienced
\nconflicts among the pastoral communities over water and pasture for their livestock
\nadding that cattle rustling have also been responsible for immense loss of lives
\nand property in the region. <\/div>\n

Bishop Ireri said the radio will serve all the people of
\nIsiolo regardless of their social, political or religious inclinations. \u201cWe intend
\nto work closely with religious leaders, political leaders and all the people of
\nIsiolo in our radio programs to foster peace and stability in the county,\u201d he
\nsaid.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cIsiolo is located in a very strategic place since it is at
\nthe centre of the country and due to that, the county can influence peace and
\nunity in the entire nation when the habitats are peaceful and united. Isiolo is
\na cosmopolitan town with the major tribes being Samburu, Turkana, Meru and
\nBorana. There are also many other tribes working in Isiolo and as such
\nreflecting the face of Kenya.\u201d The Bishop who is also a Consolata Missionary
\nexplained.<\/div>\n
