The Media Council of Kenya (MCK) has on Tuesday instructed Royal Media Services, K24, and the Star to address the conduct of three journalists who engaged in a physical altercation during a public event in Siaya on Sunday January 21.

Having concluded its own investigation into the matter, the media regulator urges the implicated media organizations to conduct thorough internal investigations and implement appropriate disciplinary measures against the involved journalists.

According to a statement by MCK Chief Executive Officer David Omwoyo, “The Council unequivocally condemns all forms of violence, including those perpetrated by members of the press against their own or on members of the public.”

In response to the incident, MCK emphasizes the responsibility of journalists to uphold integrity, decorum, and professionalism even when faced with aggression. The council warns that accredited journalists involved in such altercations may risk losing their registration with MCK.

To facilitate resolution, MCK pledges support and assistance to the journalists implicated in the incident, urging them to pursue mediation or alternative conflict resolution methods to address underlying issues and prevent future violence.

Despite the incident, MCK confirms the full accreditation of the three journalists involved and asserts their freedom to work anywhere in Kenya, irrespective of their origin.

Additionally, MCK cautions media houses against publishing one-sided stories that distort or conceal facts, emphasizing its commitment to fostering a more respectful and collaborative media environment.

The council underscores the collective responsibility of journalists to prioritize truth, accuracy, and objectivity, promoting respectful dialogue and constructive criticism over personal attacks or violence.

MCK reiterates its dedication to collaborating with all stakeholders to create an environment where journalists can collectively hold power accountable, inform the public, and contribute to building a better society.
