Initially, it was expected that all stations would be back on air today after completion of Raila’s oath taking but which has clearly prolonged for over 24 hours, prompting the Media Council to take necessary action. They are to remain closed until completion of investigations. The Media council however has dismissed government’s action saying that the act erodes the gains made so far in developing a free and responsible media but are willing to collaborate until all investigations are conducted. It has further called upon the concerned bodies to restore signals and broadcasting capabilities of the affected media houses while still conducting investigations, to allow for convenience of all involved parties.
