In 2001, the Media Steering Committee in conjunction with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Foundation developed a Code of Conduct and Practice of Journalism in Kenya.

It was aimed at ensuring the media regulates itself within set parameters to avoid being gaged or muzzled by the State and ensure freedom of expression, at the core of democracy, thrives.
