The Day Journalists Were Attacked

Morning coverage focused on scattered domestic issues with no dominant story, including a major road cut off by floods, Kenya's potential loss of AFCON hosting rights, and a court reprieve for a politician's property. By early afternoon, editorial attention shifted to political developments as President Ruto faced criticism over public outbursts while also encouraging unity during Eid celebrations, and the DCI addressed a tender scam investigation. Evening coverage consolidated around attacks against journalists covering a fake ambulance scam, with multiple outlets reporting the incident while also tracking a defiant political response from Ruto and a passenger plane veering off a runway.
