Attack on the Standard Group

Shock. Total and complete shock. That describes my reaction to today's going's on. A raid has been carried out at the Standard Newspaper and KTN-TV offices. And the worst part is that the raid was reportedly carried out by detectives from the Nairobi Provincial CID Headqarters. Should this be true, we would clearly be going back to such barbaric times as the days of the guillotine.

Should the raid have been carried out by another group, the situation would still be dark as attacks on the media are a stab at democracy.

Let us watch the story unfold.
