[kictanet] New law forces media to reveal sources

[Alex Gakuru]

>From now on, would you trust Kenya media with any
confidential corruption story, especially if you were
in the civil service? or expect Editors to even touch
let alone fearlessly publish corruption reports when
they will have to name their sources. Who will now
dare accuse a minister of graft? In short, "You
Kenyans shut up and let us eat". 

Loss of business for local media houses and we revive
your old shortwave radio. You will need it henceforth 
 to tune in to BBC, VOA, etc for breaking news on
Kenya?

But then again, one can always publish in foreign
newspapers that protect their sources and on websites.
At least for the time being before another internet
censorship and PCs confiscation law is passed.

Don't you love Kenya? Have fun with whistle blower
protection program joke...
