I read this article by Ezekiel Mutua, the director of Information and Public Communications and for sure, I have never seen someone hit the media as hard as he had done.

But I belief he has a point.

Here are some of his comments

"I can say without any fear of contradiction that one of the greatest occupational hazards of the media is the prospect of a journalist becoming an isolationist, and developing the redundant characteristics of occupants of ivory towers, becoming a sadist, an extortionist, a blackmailer or a pervert."



"What's worse, is the fact that a variety of media practitioners who are nothing short of social misfits or outright deviants to social norms, occupy senior positions in newsrooms where they whimsically publish pornography"


Yet, among Kenyan media practitioners there exists an even worse variety of journalists than the denizen of an ivory tower or extortionist - the journalist or media house who sacrifice moral decency at the altar of instant gratification and profiteering, and yet continue to masquerade as independent and objective purveyors of information
