The Kenya Kwanza administration has come under heavy criticism over its continued under-hand dealings against the country's independent media.

Barely two months ago, the Ruto administration withdrew government advertisements from major local dailies and handed them to one entity. And last week, it announced that it was diverting all government broadcast advertisements to State broadcaster, KBC.
