The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) now says its directive to suspend live broadcasts for media houses on June 25 protests was not an absolute ban on media coverage. Judge Chacha Mwita was informed by the Director General David Mugonyi, that it was compelled to act after routine monitoring revealed the live coverage had escalated tensions in the country. The Kenya Editors Guild and the Kenya Union of Journalists had rushed to court, citing that the attempted blackout set a dangerous precedent that warrants Judicial scrutiny. The Judge has directed all parties to consolidate their petitions in the matter ahead of further directions in October this year.
