Both Media Council of Kenya a body mandated by the Constitution of Kenya to streamline ethics within Journalism industry and Kenya Union of Journalists, for the welfare of Kenyan Journalists strongly condemned the attacks.

And warned that anybody with similar intentions to members of the fourth estate to kindly withdraw and get used to Journalists and their work.

Journalists are the link, messengers and the people’s voice Globally, anybody worldwide runs to journalists when pressed with his or her issues.

The law enforcers arrested the alleged inciter and arraigned him in court where he was charged with three counts of malicious damage, incitement to violence which is a serious offence and assault.

The allegations that KTN Journalists demanded bribe do not hold water since no evidence was produced to support the malicious claims.

KTN Journalists Caroline bii, Boniface Magna and there driver were on a investigative piece where one female student allegedly disappeared from the school without trace.

The KTN Journalists were admitted while in critical condition but are now fairly responding positively to medications at a City medical institution .

While the School at the center of controversy was prematurely closed for an early mid term break and is scheduled to be opened on Tuesday 12th June 2019.
