Kisumu Senator Anyang' Nyong'o has claimed that media owners and editors were prevailed on by the Government to give the Monday Saba Saba rally a live coverage black-out.
Substantiating his Tuesday claims before the Senate that the Government had gagged the media on the rally, Nyong'o tabled details of a meeting convened by the Media Council of Kenya that brought together security bosses and media personalities. The senator argued that it was at this meeting that the decision was made.
