A Kenyan activist has moved to court seeking a declaration that the switch off of three major television stations by the government is illegal and unconstitutional.
Mr Okiya Omtatah filed the petition on Thursday morning arguing that the shutdown of Nation Media Group's NTV, Royal Media's Citizen and Standard Group's KTN News is a violation of the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of the media under Article 33 and 34 of the Constitution respectively.
