Larry Madowo, Ken Mijungu Being Sought By Police In Swearing In Purge

A number of high ranking journalists in the country are in the police radar for undisclosed reasons in the wake of Raila Odinga's swearing in ceremony.
Linus Kaikai, NTV's general manager and Kenya Editors Guild chairman, received reliable information from officers in the directorate of criminal investigations that he was to be arrested today.
Human rights activists and Linus Kaikai's legal team gathered at Nation Center waiting for his arrest but that was not the case. The police officers did not show up.
While the director of criminal investigations Mr George Kinoti denied sending any police officers to arrest Linus Kaikai, security guards manning the Nation Center reported that they had spotted police officers around the building.
Sources say that Larry Madowo and Ken Mijungu, both journalists at Nation Media Group, are also part of the group the government plans to arrest.
Larry Madowo broke his silence on Twitter and said he was ready to be investigated by the government.

I was in the control room producing @ntvkenya's coverage when we were switched off. I am stunned by the government's justification for this flagrant violation of our constitution.
