Journalists captured standing outside the court buildings have stated that they have been barred from accessing the area.
According to police officers, the orders blocking the journalists from accessing the Anti-Corruption Court came from above.
Apparently, this was after a video was circulated online capturing a leaking court roof during Sonko’s appearance in court following Sh357 million graft case.
Ultimately, reports indicate that the journalists had showed up to cover the case of Tharaka Nithi Governor Muthomi Njuki whose bail hearing was scheduled for today.
