Press Freedom Letter to Kibaki

In solidarity with Keguro

Dear President Kibaki:

On March 2, 2006 government forces raided the headquarters and printing plant of the Standard Group. In addition to destroying equipment and newspapers, they shut down the KTN news station.

This latest attack follows the jailing of three journalists from Standard Newspaper, attacks on Citizen Weekly, and ongoing harassment of journalists by government-sponsored forces.

I urge you to condemn these attacks and to support freedom of the press.

Ory Okolloh (aka Kenyan Pundit)

Quote of the day via Cutting Edge: When National Security minister John Michuki tells Kenyans that “if you rattle a snake, you will be bitten by it”, doesn’t he also realise that whenever people see a snake they mobilise others to strike it on the head and kill it? asks K. Butiko. He adds: “Since he says the Government he is serving is a snake, he should know that its days in power are numbered. Also, such arrogance by a public figure, who is supposed to be a servant of the people, is unacceptable.”
