Truth Without Fear
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
Reports by the Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNHRC) that 24 protesters had been killed in clashes with security forces after the declaration of the presidential election results last Friday create a sad picture in a democratic society where protection of human rights is expected to reign supreme.
The same reports indicate that most of victims were mowed down by police gunfire. Whereas we may not know why the police acted in such a manner, there is no justification to end anyone's life prematurely since there are other avenues to apprehend culprits.
