Probe arrest of KBC scribe over retweet

Allow me to condemn in the strongest terms possible the arrest and questioning of Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) journalist Judith Akolo by detectives in connection to her demonstration of her freedom of expression as enshrined in the Constitution.

Apparently, Akolo’s only crime was to retweet a post by a blogger that had a letter purportedly signed by a senior officer at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) asking police officers who wish to join the department to apply. Funny enough, the letter was sent out on the deadline date.
