(NDIMA/IFEX) – The Nation Media Group has told a Nairobi columnist who
writes for the “Sunday Nation”, Wahome Mutahi, that the newspaper will no
longer publish his articles if he continues to satirise the head of state.
Mutahi, who writes the popular “Whispers” column, told NDIMA that he
received a call from his editor recently instructing him to replace a story
he had written with President Moi as the focus of his humorous article.
After the newspaper chose not to publish the original article, he said he
did not have the time to write another one, and the newspaper came out
without his usual column. His editor told him he should refrain from writing
open letters to the President even when done in a light or humorous style.
