The Futility Of Clamping Down On The Media

The Standard group has a lot to thank the Kibaki administration for. Thanks to the police raid, circulation is up and everybody is paying a lot more attention to this newspaper whose fortunes had greatly dwindled at the time of the mid night raid.

While it is still not clear whether the national security issues that were at stake when the decision to raid Kenya's oldest media group was taken, there is no doubt that the media group is much better off because of the raid.

Will politicians never learn about the futility of clamping down on the media?
