The International Press Institute (IPI), the global network of editors, media executives and leading journalists in over 120 countries, urges the Kenyan government to call an end to the current ban on live news broadcasts in Kenya.
MoreAccording to information before IPI, the ban was imposed on 30 December 2007 in response to violence following the recent presidential elections. The reason given to justify the ban, announced by the Kenyan Ministry for Security, was that the emotions demonstrated during live broadcasts were inciting violence. The ban remains in place, and covers all live news broadcasts by radio and television alike. The government has given no clear indication of when the ban will be lifted, stating that this will occur only once the situation has ‘cooled down.’ Related: [Africa] |
