Default Post-election violence: The Standard now spills the beans - 09-01-2008, 05:18 PM

The post-poll violence that claimed the lives of more than 1,200 people may have been planned, it has now emerged.

The kenya national commission on human rights report, on the brink of the precipice: a human rights account of kenya’s post-2007 election violence, documents meetings in which leaders incited community against community, and even funded the procurement of war gear.

The report, which was presented at the waki commission recently, is embargoed until those mentioned adversely are notified, as the law demands........

Journalists are a threat to mankind. I am specifically talking about the KEnyanmedia.

They blew it by swallowing teh ODM propaganda line, hook and sinker.

Now, ati they are REVEALING!

They want to redeem themselves by fooling and hoodwinking us that thney are all about fair reporting.

We all know that the East African Standard is an echo chamber for ODM.

Well said, Native. The Standard is playing dumb now, and all the time it has been in the thick of things. In particular, I will forever hold the Standard responsible for the death of those policement who were killed in Kisumu on the eve of the elections, after they ran that stupid story of how City Noppers were being used to ferry policemen at night to go and rig elections. That was the most stupid and irresponsible journalism i have ever come across. Now they are trying to redeem their soiled name because readership of their rag has dwindled.

So true;so true!!What the editorial board didn't realise is that PNU are the main buyers of their rag.Its too late to change though-we all know what they did.Ideally they'd all be charged with manslaughter;from that Friday arsonist with his weekly monologues to Okech and everyone else.
