President William Ruto yesterday came under intense online backlash after attacking the integrity of The Standard Media Group
The President drew condemnation from legal scholars, human rights organisations and political leaders who accused him of attempting to undermine media independence.
Using his X account, Dr Ruto criticised the media house's headlines, describing them as "extortionist propaganda", and also launched a personal attack on Kanu chairman, Gideon Moi.
In a sharply-worded post emphasised using capital letters, he alleged that The Standard had embarked on a five-day campaign of headlines aimed at discrediting his Kenya Kwanza administration.
