The Kenya Editors’ Guild has written to the National Assembly to petition over the removal of Media Council of Kenya board member.
In a letter to Clerk of the National Assembly, Michael Sialai, the Editor’s Guild President Charles Otieno said the purported removal of Tabitha Mutemi outside the procedures outlined in the Media Council Act will destabilize MCK.
“Our petition, attached, sets out our reservations which are grounded on the need to uphold the sanctity of the law, independence of the Media regulatory body, and independence of the media as guaranteed by the Constitution,” Otieno said.
