"We particularly take note of the latest verbal attack against Citizen TV by Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi vide a social media post meant to intimidate the editorial discretion of the station. Hon Sudi's statement comes after a similar threat by South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro who castigated the media outlet for alleged biased reporting," MCK CEO David Omwoyo Omwoyo said.

Omwoyo noted that the Kenyan media is guided by a professional code of conduct with sufficient mechanisms for self-regulation.

The MCK CEO said politicians with issues should file through the Media Complaints Commission.
