Lucy Kibaki Takes On the Press On World Press Freedom Day

Posted by Eric at 9:29 am. Filed under: General

Irony of the day from the first lady of Kenya:

World Press Freedom Day? Not if you ask the Kenyan president’s wife, who stormed into the newsroom of the nation’s largest newspaper early Tuesday and demanded the arrest of journalists for what she considers biased coverage. One cameraman said she slapped him.

Lucy Kibaki, wife of President Mwai Kibaki, arrived with her bodyguards and ordered her security men, who are police officers, to prevent anyone from leaving the newsroom and to confiscate the reporters’ mobile telephones, according to an account in Tuesday’s late edition of the Nation.
