Thursday, July 25, 2024 - The Government is reportedly planning to gag the media after State House officials secretly met with senior media executives.
According to a source privy to the meeting, the senior
media bosses agreed to halt live broadcasting of anti-government protests
organized by Gen Zs.
The protests will only be covered in news segments and
images of the protests filtered.
It was also agreed that the mainstream media will reduce
coverage of Gen Z protests.
In return, the Government will reconsider advertising
with the media outlets that will comply.
Currently, the Government exclusively advertises with the
Star Newspaper, where President Ruto reportedly has shares.
Additionally, the Government plans to revoke the
operating permits of foreign journalists who cover the protests “in the wrong
way”.
This is a major blow to Gen Zs who have been organizing
successful protests for the last five weeks.
The protests have received wide coverage in both local and international media outlets.
