Muzzled: KTN Refuses To Air Allan Namu's Controversial Exposé On South Sudan
Celebrated investigative journalist, John Allan Namu, has intimated the details that led to Kenya's TV station, KTN, refusal to air a controversial expose on the death and corruption that plagues South Sudan. The piece, called "The Profiteers" #TheProfiteers was scheduled to air on KTN, even after sections of it were edited out as they mentioned the name of a senior person involved in the events surrounding the South Sudan conflict.
The documentary, produced under Namu's current employer, Africa Uncensored, is now on YouTube as journalist fight to share the truths surrounding issues hurting citizens of the African continent.
Below is a thread he shared on Twitter explaining why the documentary was not aired;
@KTNNews promised to publish #TheProfiteers tonight. They will not. WE, @afuncensored ,WILL. A THREAD.— John-Allan Namu (@johnallannamu) October 7, 2018
Let me start by saying that I have profound respect for many of the journalists and editors at @KTNNews. So it was indeed a shock when I learnt earlier today that @KTNNews decided not to run the story as promised and promoted. #TheProfiteers— John-Allan Namu (@johnallannamu) October 7, 2018
They were largely happy with the story, but wanted to remove certain parts of it as they sought comment from an adversely mentioned person. We disagreed, given that we had already sought fair comment from this person. @KTNNews #TheProfiteers— John-Allan Namu (@johnallannamu) October 7, 2018
So we differ with the decision by @KTNNews to hold the story, but we respect it. They have their platform, and we have ours. We feel that we have met the threshold for it to be seen by the public, and for the public to judge it on its own merit. #TheProfiteers— John-Allan Namu (@johnallannamu) October 7, 2018
We have worked hard on this story, and have one motive. To finally see accountability from EAST AFRICA for the crimes committed against ordinary South Sudanese citizens. 382,000 people died in just five years there. For context, that's all the people in Kibra #TheProfiteers— John-Allan Namu (@johnallannamu) October 7, 2018
I know that this move may mean that fewer people get to see the story. That doesn't matter to me. What matters is that we are not held back by the machinations of the elite, and their creeping influence in the media. #TheProfiteers— John-Allan Namu (@johnallannamu) October 7, 2018
I hope that @KTNNews will run this story as they had promised you they would. We made a promise to you too. So here's our story: https://t.co/YENkTmuWMR #TheProfiteers— John-Allan Namu (@johnallannamu) October 7, 2018
