The Kenya Editors Guild (KEG) has strongly condemned a violent attack on two journalists, Gilbert Sitati of Standard Group and George Njoroge of Mediamax, who were covering a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) meeting in Cherangany, Trans Nzoia County, on Friday, March 20. KEG President Zubeidah Kananu decried the assault as a "brazen act of violence" and a threat to media freedom.

• The journalists were reportedly attacked in connection with coverage of a controversial fake ambulance procurement deal linked to Harambee House.
• KEG has called for immediate and transparent investigations by Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, with threats of private prosecution if action isn't taken.
• The organization urged political leaders to respect the media's role and ensure the safety of journalists covering public events, warning against turning political spaces into "zones of lawlessness."
