On Sunday, a Nation Journalist was arrested and his whereabouts unknown. Walter Menya wrote a story about the Friends of Jubilee Foundation through which senior civil servants are illegally participating in the campaigns.

Nation Media Group, through a spokesman, said the circumstances surrounding Menya’s arrest were unclear and they were waiting for further information from the police.

His brother, Dennis Menya is worried.

"We're unable to trace Walter Menya in police stations in Nairobi. We're asking Boinnet to produce our brother," he wrote on his Facebook page.

The Kimathi Street based media house released a press statement saying, "Nation Media Group wish to confirm that one of its senior editors attached to Sunday Nation Mr. Walter Menya was this morning arrested for reasons we are not clear about. We are actively seeking facts from the investigating authorities to enable us to take appropriate action.

We wish to reaffirm our commitment to press freedoms and zero tolerance on any unethical behaviour in accordance with our editorial policy. We request quick clarification on the facts surrounding Mr. Menya's arrest and thank all our readers and stakeholders for their continued loyalty and support."

Respected Kenyan editor reacted to the news saying,

"Walter Menya has reported dangerous and important stories some people would have paid millions to kill before. That he is arrested on Sunday when courts are not open for allegedly soliciting a Sh50,000 bribe is an insult to our intelligence. Police can do better if they really mean to frame and defame somebody."

Here are other reactions from Kenyans.
