KTN News and NTV were back on air last evening, as activist Okiya Omtatah filed contempt proceedings against Cabinet Secretaries Fred Matiang’i, Joe Mucheru and the CA Board over failure to reopen the TV stations. The CSs were ordered to restore NTV, KTN News, and Citizen TV signals in a court order issued Thursday last week. Omtatah says the court has the unfettered powers and jurisdiction to stop the blatant disregard of the rule of law. Omtatah argues the respondent sare guilty of criminal contempt because by deliberately disobeying the court orders they have substantially undermined the cause of justice. The contempt proceedings, he says have been brought to safeguard the rule of law.
