Two Standard Group journalists were denied entry to State House, Nairobi, on Saturday to cover an event.

This is despite receiving an invitation to cover a joint press briefing by President William Ruto and visiting Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar.

President Musar is in Kenya for a three-day state visit.

After waiting for more than three hours outside State House Gate D alongside other reporters, a plainclothes police officer arrived around 11.30 am and called the group closer.
