DENNIS ITUMBI MUST KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT IN K.A.N.U REGIME.
Kenya Union of Journalist(KUJ) rejects Media Council Position on Journalists with political interests:
" The Media Council guidelines on journalists with political interests should not be taken seriously by journalists. Those are illegal guidelines that suppress freedom of expression. In other countries journalists are usually affiliated to political ideologies. The Media Council Council of Kenya should come up with a framework that will allow journalists as professionals to take a stand on political issues to deal with the confusion it is trying to address rather than resorting to gagging. We must avoid KANU style of addressing problems in the industry. Civil servants are given a period to leave office to start campaigns. What about journalists? Is it one year? two years? One week?", Eric Oduor, KUJ Sec-Gen.
