[kictanet] Media barred from covering events at JKIA?

[Barrack Otieno]

Colleagues,

This is an emotive matter but as the wise men say a messenger should never
be hurt. It behoves us as stakeholders in Information and Communications
Technology to condemn such unwarranted attacks on freedom of information,
the attacks on the journalists were unwarranted since they were out to get
their daily bread. We can do better as a country at tolerating divergent
views.

Best Regards
