The Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication, and Digital Economy, William Kabogo, has defended the introduction of new media rules aimed at addressing emerging global trends and digital challenges.
Kabogo appeared before the National Assembly's Committee on Delegated Legislation on Thursday, July 3, to explain the new regulations under the Media Council Act.
He said that the proposed changes are meant to update Kenya's media standards in line with global trends and digital challenges.
In the proposed code, strict regulations were introduced for media operations, including heavy penalties for the misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or the publication of misleading AI-generated content.
