Dennis Itumbi Attacks NTV’s Ken Mijungu Over The Press Pass Show
The security laws are still a raging topic amidst Kenyans as new twists are taking centre-stage every single day we live.
The laws that were passed amid chaos in Parliament have been met with mixed reactions from Kenyans of all walks of life, with the opposition managing to convince the High Court of Kenya to suspend some sections of the controversial law which were deemed inappropriate and unconstitutional.
However, unconstitutional is the word Dennis Itumbi and his lot do not want to hear. This explains why the director of digital communication in the office of the president has blasted Ken Mijungu and his show, Press Pass following the use of this term.
On Monday, Press Pass was discussing the security law and majority of the speakers said the suspended sections of the law were unconstitutional. Itumbi quickly took to his social media account to bash the allegations and advised that Mark and his show should stop getting information from the print media.
This is what Itumbi said:
“@NTV Kenya is completely wrong on the matter of Security Laws. Judge Odunga in his ruling did not find any single clause unconstitutional. Not even the suspended ones.
The full ruling is at the Kenya Law Reform Website.
On the matter of suspended sections, The Judge was very clear.
Refer paragraph 176, where the Judge says that his decision has no bearing on the constitutionality of the suspended sections.
Arriving at media conclusions and declarations should be backed up by basic research.
Maybe Press Pass should stop reading newspaper coverage and read the ruling as published.
I maintain no section was declared unconstitutional”
