Police Chief Censoring Nation Crime Reports: Crime Reporter Who Resigned Says
According to a leaked email, posted on the web, Nation Newspapers crime reporter Stephen Muiruri has allegedly resigned while under intense pressure from senior managers at the newspaper trying to divert attention from the ongoing sex scandal allegations.
But what is the most shocking thing from the email (if it is genuine) is the revelation that the police have been censoring crime reports in Kenya’s highest circulating daily through senior managers at the paper. At other times they have pleaded for stories on crime and security to be toned down.
This answers a question we posed in this blog last week as to why frequent matatu carjackings that usually end up in rape of all female passengers, have not been reported in the media.
Kenyans will now have to decide if the public is really safer when they do not really know the extent of violent crime. Or if ignorance in fact compromises the security of many city dwellers who assume that all is well.
One of the main reasons for toning down crime reports would for political ends to paint both the government and security forces in good light ahead of the rapidly approaching general elections.
