The Law Society of Kenya has warned of a possible due to the shrinking media space and disregard of court orders. LSK chairman Isaac Okero yesterday criticised the government for ignoring court orders, saying the move sets a dangerous precedent. Last week, human rights activist Okiya Omtatah was denied entry to the Communications Authority offices in Nairobi where he went to serve a court orders directing the agency to suspend the shutdown of TV broadcasters. Okero said there exist a strong correlation between freedom of expression, political stability and freedom of the media. The LSK boss said the orders ought to make clear natural persons within the arm or agency of government concerned who will bear personal responsibility for the failure to comply.
