#Kenya: IPI notes the responses by Ruto concerning press freedom threats and violations that occurred during the protests. We welcome his recognition of the importance of a free media & his express support for media freedom. However, IPI calls on Ruto to ensure that such support & defense for media freedom is reflected across all government institutions and agencies including the police who were responsible for some of the media attacks. It is not enough to refer to these media attacks as unfortunate incidents of the chaotic situation. IPI reiterates its call for accountability and investigations of the attacks that were perpetrated.
