Journalism at the moment is becoming awhat with government closure of media houses for airing a newsworthy event. And things don't seem to be dissipating in the government appetite to deal with anyone whom they deem as a threat to "national security".

Managing editor Linus Kaikai and two of his underlings Larry Madowo and Ken Mijungu were advised not to leave the Nation Centre after the company security guards got wind of the plot to arrest the three journalists.

Ruaraka MP Tom Kajwang was arrested a few hours after Matiang'i announcement. As of 8 a.m today they had moved to court through their lawyer seeking an anticipatory bail, seeking not to be arrested. I end this article with a famous quote by Martin Niemoller:

First, they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— 

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— 

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
