Media Council of Kenya (MCK) has written to the New York Times Bureau Chief in Nairobi demanding an apology on the publication’s usage of images of those who died at Dusit attack.

“MCK demands that your publication pulls down the insensitive pictures within 24 hours and makes an unconditional apology on the matter. We believe this will be a step in regaining confidence in regard to the professionalism of your articles,” David Omwoyo, MCK’s Chief Executive Officer said in the letter.
