A Kenyan court has ordered the Communications Authority to restore signal transmission of four television stations it switched off on Tuesday over the opposition's mock inauguration.
A judge at the High Court in Nairobi issued temporary orders barring the government from interfering with operations of Nation Media Group's NTV, Royal Media's Citizen and Inooro, and Standard Group's KTN News pending the hearing of a suit filed by activist Okiya Omtatah.
