The Standard e-Paper
Kenya’s Boldest Voice
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
The High Court in Nairobi temporarily halted implementation of some clauses of the Security Laws (Amendment) Act, 2014, preparing ground for the Supreme Court to determine whether or not some provisions of this law are unconstitutional.
Presiding Judge Justice George Odunga shelved eight clauses of the law which he noted would need further scrutiny. However, these conservatory orders have not looked into constitutionality of the eight clauses—this will be the mandate of the Supreme Court following a full hearing of the petition filed by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) and the Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNCHR).
