The Standard Newspaper has boldly rebuked the recent statements made by Suba East MP Junet Mohammed and Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen, accusing the leaders of launching coordinated attacks on media freedom.
In a note by its Editorial Team on the Saturday Standard, the group condemned Junet's rant in Parliament, where he accused The Standard Group and its shareholders of inciting genocide.
According to the Standard, the allegations by June are defamatory, inflammatory, and dangerous and send a chilling message to journalists across the country. "To liken any media house to the propagandist machinery of Rwanda's dark past that fuelled the 1994 genocide is not only misleading but insulting to the memory of over 800,000 lives lost.
It is tantamount to dancing on their remains for political mileage.
