In the incident circulated on social media, security officers are seen roughing up the journalist with one landing a heavy blow on him. Media Council Chief Executive Officer David Omwoyo condemned the act, terming it shameful and that it should be punished. Omwoyo raised concerns over a worrying trend where plain cloth security officers guarding government officials act with impunity and attack journalists who are carrying out their duties. “The Media Council of Kenya urges the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) to identify, publicly name and take appropriate action against the officers involved,” he added.
