KC(A) Act 2008: Media Disingenuity?
Since December 11th, 2008 sections of the media and some human rights groups have been very vocal about how press freedoms will be curtailed by the passing of the Kenya Communications (Amendment) Bill 2008 in the House. After January 2nd 2009 when the Bill was enacted, the story has been pinned as front page news by virtually all media houses.
The BBC had this to say of the Bill recently signed into Law:
The law gives the Kenyan authorities the power to raid media offices, tap phones and control broadcast content on grounds of national security.
Really?
