A civil society group has come out to defend the Standard Media Group over what it terms as a threat from the Orange Democratic Movement.
Kenya Bora Tuitakayo, in a statement, said instead of issuing threats against the media house, party leader Raila Odinga should instead help his party decide whether they are part of the disgraced UDA government or are the leadership of the minority side in parliament, commonly called the opposition.
The statement comes shortly after the ODM party released another statement saying it would on Tuesday address a press conference following an article published by The Standard Newspaper.
ODM's Executive Director Oduor Ong'wen, in the statement, said tomorrow's presser would determine how the party will relate with the media house in future. "The Orange Democratic Movement has taken note of the sustained smear campaign by The Standard Newspapers against the Party's leader, Raila Odinga, and which has now been extended against his entire family.
