The Broadcasting Council a few moments ago wrote to Monitor Publications, informing them that they were suspending the broadcasting licence of their station, KFM. The cause was the Andrew Mwenda live of last evening in which he criticised M& for threatening to ban The Monitor, The Observer and Red Pepper (or any paper/ media that wrote about security issues). The radio has been switched off by its management. Group MD Conrad Nkutu called the suspension of the licence illegal, but said they were complying because they are a law-abiding company. In the meantime, they are taking up the issue with authorities. Mwenda was this evening set to host Dr Nsaba Buturo, the minister in charge of information.
