The government continued to shut down independent television broadcast in total defiance of fresh court orders that suspended the move.

Justice Chacha Mwita issued the orders in a case filed by Royal Media Services and the Africa Digital Network (ADN) on a day three NTV journalists got orders stopping police from arresting them in the ongoing Jubilee crackdown on the media.
