President William Ruto faces sharp criticism from human rights groups and the political class over his persistent online attacks against the Standard Group.

President William Ruto has drawn criticism from the political class, human rights groups, and ordinary Kenyans after he posted on X attacking the Standard Group for the second day running yesterday.

The majority questioned the appropriateness of the comments against the media house, coming from the holder of the country's highest office.

Among those who condemned the President’s post was Jimi Wanjigi, who described the attack as "an egregious affront to constitutional freedom of the media and access to information," warning that such moves could undermine democratic principles ahead of the next General Election.
