The Media Council of Kenya has criticised what it called continued attacks and harassment of journalists over the last few days by the police.

The council has documented two incidents in the last few weeks where KBC’s Simon Ben based in Nakuru and Muraya Kariuki of Royal Media Services (RMS) in Nairobi were ill-treated and harassed by the police.
