Kenyan concern over media law: CEN 8.31.07 p 6. August 30, 2007

| A PROPOSED media law that would have compelled journalists to reveal their sources upon demand has drawn sharp criticism from Church leaders in Kenya.
The protest against government attempts to curtail press freedoms by the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) are the latest challenges to that nation’s parliament, as the church presses the state to combat corruption and promote good government. On Aug 2, the Kenyan parliament passed an omnibus media regulation bill that required newspaper editors to identify anonymous sources to the police or to a court. The ACK and the Nation Council of Churches of Kenya denounced the bill saying it would undermine civil liberties. Read it all in The Church of England Newspaper |
