Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) chairperson Charles Karondo during the handing over of a new house he built for his neighbors in Marewa village, Murang'a/ ALICE WAITHERAThe government will not censor Kenyans’ freedom of expression as the country heads to the next general elections, the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) has assured. CAK chairperson Charles Karondo said that, unlike some neighbouring states, Kenya will allow its citizens to communicate freely within the law during the electoral period. The assurance comes against a backdrop of recent moves by authorities in parts of East Africa to limit online communication during elections. The event was attended by prominent figures, including Mbeere North MP Leo Wamuthende, JCM bishop Ben Kiengei and Deputy State House Comptroller Simon Gikuru, among others, who urged locals to support the government.
