Hussein Mohammed Attacks Media Council Over Political Bias

After publishing a study revealing how media chose to cover former Prime Minister Raila Odinga of Azimio la Umoja, Deputy President William Ruto’s campaign secretariat attacked the Media Council of Kenya (MCK).

On Friday, July 15, Hussein Mohamed, the director of communications for the William Samoei Ruto (WSR) Presidential Secretariat, accused the media oversight committee of bias in its findings and claimed that MCK had not provided evidence to back up its assertions.

Hussein urged the MCK to concentrate on its responsibility for overseeing the media and urged its leadership to refrain from publishing unverified allegations.

“Reports have shown the coverage the other team is enjoying. It is interesting, funny and unbelievable that the MCK did not see a problem with that.”

Additionally, he requested the regulatory agency to confirm that thorough study was conducted before compiling its findings.
