By JOHN NGIRACHUMore by this AuthorThe shutdown of NTV, Citizen and KTN enters day seven on Monday, with the Communications Authority showing no signs of obeying a court order directing it to allow the TV stations back on air. The Civil Society Reference Group said the reaction by the government to an event its top leadership had described as a comedy was excessive. “It is unfathomable and ironic that three TV stations, whose role was only to cover an activity the government had definitely allowed to proceed, are being punished,” the group said. The Communications Authority has refused to be served the orders issued by the High Court. Mr Okiya Omtatah, an activist, was turned away on Friday and the order he pasted on a wall near the agency’s gate removed within minutes.
