Kenyan journalists are warning of escalating tensions and violence amid rising threats to press freedom in the wake of President William Ruto's August 2022 election. Last year, Kenya fell from a ranking of 69 out of 180 in the annual Reporters Without Borders press freedom index to 116. Cases of harassment have mounted amid a surge in hostility, characterised by police brutality against journalists during public demonstrations, as well as overt antagonism from the government. Shifts in Kenya's advertising directives have also sparked an outcry.
