Editors Tell Off President Uhuru for Threatening to Shut Down Media Houses if they Cover Raila's Swearing-in

The genocide in Rwanda & 2007/07 killing was spread through the Radio. Whatever it will take to keep peace do it.

As distasteful as it may be to the president,he should not interfere with the media.The media is not there to support NASA.( ihope not)But if they are breaking any laws,by all means gag them.Not too long ago Mr. president you talked about thick skin.Are you softening?
Yes democracy can be messy.Kenya is not a totalitarian regime.
If I were the president, I would let this clown RAO conduct his side show without interference.There have been questions about the legality of this"clowning".Can someone on mwakilishi who is in the know tell us if what RAO will do is against the law?
Yes as annoying as the media gets sometimes to certain people,I would not wish to go back to those days of- ati amesema nini...Nyonga yeye.
having said this, I believe we have adequate laws that deal with "errant journalists".

Freedom of speech/media. That is what the constitution states. As long as the media is not breaking the law, by all means we want to see what is going to take place. Why control what people want to see. Even if the media are shut down, people nowadays have cameras. This is the digital world! Media houses are actually even trying to stay afloat based on how many people nowadays have good recording devices.

Why did it take 3 days for this to be revealed? Is there something the media folks are holding back or not telling?

Yes shut them down - they are 100% to be blamed for the chaos too, even freedom of speech ash its limits

Media lazima imulike yote. Jubilee is pretending that this swearing in is a small event if so let them conduct their swearing in in peace .A small event should not ruffle your feathers but then again wengi wenyu ni vifaranga vya komputa hata manyoya ya kweli hamna mna lalamika nini?let the press do their job.

Shut them shut them mr President!This rights comes with limitations n responsibilities!Am hoping police have bin given enough live bullets to shot thugs n criminals who attends Uhuru Park.Our population is 45m we need to reduce it to 37m so if the police can clear n forward this Tuesday it can b very good coz most of those attending that illegal swearing r jobless lazy pple who want free things n who r lazy kufanya kazi?

mkenya halisi,you raise avery important factor in this convolution ,and that is population.imagine nairobi with apopulation of only 1.6million.wr would have few slams,few malayas,few matatus,few unemployments,few polution and few corrupt people...

Freedom comes with responsibility and not to stir chaos. The opposition should wait for an official Election Day , having lost in the first
election and asked for nullification and were given another chance which they boycotted .It seems to me all this is planned along the way because they knew
they were not going to win the Election in the first place , so they are using every means possible to force themselves to power. The opposition
should understand our Security forces are keeping an eye them and will not hesitate to enforce the law and bring peace to our country if they try something stupid...
What the opposition leaders are doing will not be done any country ,because they will be immediately be arrested and charged with treason. In some countries treason is
also a death sentence.

Maxiley!! I can't believe you have stooped this low! God, those people could be one of your brothers, sisters, mother na kathalika. C'mon now! Your recommendations would be akin to ethnic cleansing. Shame on you and Mkenya halisi. We are all stressed by this mess, but we don't need to dehumanize anyone. Remember, most of the young men/women parading in these demonstrations have nothing to lose as society have mostly forgotten about them and life opportunities simply are not there for them! You two should hang your heads in shame and ask for forgiveness. What you are basically saying is that if one is poor, one should be denied the right of expression or right to live. If that is the case, my dear brothers, this sister (me) would not be here today as my parents were once those poor folks who simply refused to give up and chose hope over despair. They opted to believe the future would reward their efforts to see their kids through school. Wow, you have blown me away!! Hitler mentality. Mshindwe! Back to the subject at hand, I don't agree with the government's stance of removing media on this. They should have used reverse psychology and allow Raila to be "sworn in", make him the clown of the world as that is exactly what he is, then carry on as usual. The Police should be there to maintain order, nothing less, nothing more. Removing media scrutiny only serves to step into the accusations being alleged by NASA, i.e corruption and oppression of their people. Let them be "sworn in" to be president of whatever they want to proclaim as long as there is no violence, which was my worst fear and so far not witnessed. He, ati a few slams, a few malayas, few ma three's.....mungu wangu!! Guest 1 pales in comparison to your comments Maxiley and Mkenya halisi!!
