Matiang'i must go, Lawyers claim

Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i

The Law Society of Kenya have started afresh battle to oust Interior CS Fred Matiang’i.

This, they say, is due to the controversial shutdown of three television stations back in january.In a suit filed at the Milimani High Court, the standard reports, LSK is also seeking the removal of ICT CS Joe Mucheru.

ThroughLawyer Daniel Musyoka, LSK argued that Matiang’i and Mucheru shut down the T.V stations as a deliberate move to punish them for airing live the swearing in ceremony of the people's president, Raila Odinga on january 30th.

According to the lawyer, there was no state of emergency to warrant the government shutdown of KTN News, Citizen, and Ntv given that the country was not at war.
