Press Freedom: Letter to Kibaki
Dear President Kibaki:
On March 2, 2006 government forces raided the headquarters and printing plant of the Standard Group. In addition to destroying equipment and newspapers, they shut down the KTN news station.
This latest attack follows the jailing of three journalists from Standard Newspaper, attacks on Citizen Weekly, and ongoing harassment of journalists by government-sponsored forces.
I urge you to condemn these attacks and to support freedom of the press.

This really saddens me.

Whatever you have done to your house that you want well intentioned neighbours to come in through the small kitchen window. ebu you open the door before we take the roof off in order to come in. Si you know the way Kenyans are.
Look forward to breathing the same local air soon with you.
Here’s where I show off my extensive Bible knowledge… so what you’re saying is that Kenyans are like those guys who had a sick guy and they —erm… didn’t they remove the roof to lower their boy into a crowded room so that he could be healed? No? I think my story is legit Prou- wacha kunionea. The thing is fixed Ms. Prou…
