Following a week of heavy criticism and explosive audit reports by independent institutions, lawmakers have now trained their guns on journalists.

A significant portion of Thursday's afternoon sitting at the National Assembly was dedicated to castigating the media in a charge led by the leader of Majority Leader, Kimani Ichung'wah. He claimed the media was spreading "disinformation" and "misinformation".
