Editors Give State 24-Hour Ultimatum

24 Jan 2008 the Standard (Kenyan Newspaper)

Editors have given the Government a 24-hour ultimatum to lift the ban on live TV and radio coverage.

The editors said they had many options, including court action and silent protest, to pressurize Government to withdraw the ban. The editors said the former Minister for Internal Security, Mr John Michuki, exceeded his powers by prohibiting live broadcasting on radio and television.
