[kictanet] Gov't threatens to shut media houses announcing election results - Citizentv.co.ke

[Harry Delano]

Very solid arguments from all sides.. Stakes are really heightened on this
home stretch.

Could we instill in ourselves - all and sundry, including those who hold
positions of responsibility in whichever capacity a healthy dose of
sobriety, objectivity, calmer minds and cooler heads that would prevail and
allow the nation navigate this fragile stretch justly and safely..
