Migori Senator Eddy Oketch on Tuesday, March 18, hit out at The Standard newspaper over its recent conduct, which has ruffled feathers in government circles, terming it "unprofessional".

Oketch, a staunch Raila ally, accused the Gideon Moi-owned newspaper of publishing headlines that have been deemed too critical of President William Ruto's administration, with a section of politicians even describing it as sensational or tabloid reporting.

Through a statement, Oketch insisted that the language used by the publication made it unbalanced, adding that it affected The Standard's objectivity. "Honestly, the Standard has been very unprofessional in the last few months.

Their headlines lack public accountability," Oketch stated.
