We have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions and answered them below. The questions were sent via email by our esteemed readers.
#What is KSB?
KSB is a blog site which mainly focuses on news and information about Kenyans in Stockholm. The blog site is not a Newspaper. It can publish anything from anybody as far as the rules of publications at the site are followed.
#Who is behind KSB?
KSB is mainly being managed by Mr. Okoth Osewe although there are a series of contributors who also help in running the blog. KSB also has a wide “Intelligence Network” which helps in gathering details about relevant stories to bring out “The Inside Edition” of what is happening.
#Can anybody post at KSB?
Yes. Anybody can do so. Send your contribution via email (makosewe@gmail.com) for publication. We do not however publish anonymous contributions or libelous articles. The comment feature has been disabled to prevent abuse of the facility. KSB is NOT a discussion forum and the management reserves the right to publish or reject contributions. Since anybody can start a blog site for free and say anything, we believe that having control of the site is pretty fine especially for purposes of maintaining the agenda of the site.
#Does KSB represent Wakenya in Stockholm?
KSB is not an organization which represents anybody. The blog site runs under the umbrella of “free speech”. We report what we gather from Kenyans in Stockholm. When we use the term “Kenyans”, we refer to Kenyans we have had contacts with or those who have contacted us on a particular issue. Our contacts mingle with Kenyans on many forums. Our contacts are on the ground while our tentacles in Stockholm are spread over a wide area. We can measure the pulse of opinion of the community on a given issue. If you don’t agree with us, fine. As human beings, we cannot agree on everything.
#What do I do if I have a problem with a story in KSB?
Write to us and say what the problem is. We easily correct factual errors because we are not perfect. We will be happy to hear from you.
#I have had an interview with KSB which has been published. Can I change anything after?
We do not retract stories which have already been published especially if an interview was conducted. If you feel that you were misunderstood, relax because you can do a new interview and correct the misunderstanding.
How can I advertize an event or a business at KSB and does it cost?
Send it in. It’s free.
#Does KSB have any political position especially on the situation in Kenya?
Yes. We side with progressive forces in Kenya. We do not remain aloof in the politics of our country. At the moment, we are on the side of anybody saying that the dictatorship of President Mwai Kibaki should be defeated. We are not another media out-let that sits on the fence when a dictator is ravaging our country. To be exact, we support the idea of revolution in Kenya although that is a much wider topic for now.
