Northern Kenya Media Practitioners (NKMP)

BREAKING: Nothern Kenya media practitioners boycott Gachagua interview saying in a joint statement that, "After careful consideration and internal deliberations, we have concluded that proceeding with the interview would not align with our core principles of responsible journalism, national unity, and constructive public discourse. "We have been closely following the recent public statements and rhetoric, which have increasingly been characterized as divisive, often emphasizing ethnic and regional divisions at a time when Kenya needs voices that unite rather than polarize. "Furthermore, we are concerned about the potential for the interview to devolve into character assassination or the dissemination of unsubstantiated allegations against individuals or institutions, without adequate evidence or willingness to engage in balanced, fact-based dialogue. "As media outlets committed to upholding ethical standards, fostering informed debate, and promoting peace and cohesion in our society, we cannot in good conscience provide a platform that risks amplifying such harmful narratives. "This decision is not taken lightly, as we value the importance of giving public figures the opportunity to address the nation directly. "However, the assurance we sought—that the discussion would remain respectful, evidence-based, and focused on substantive issues—was not forthcoming."

A very commendable act of maintaining Unity and Patriotism from Northern Kenya Journalism practitioners!
