The Media Council of Kenya (MCK) has mandated a seven-second delay for all live broadcasts to prevent the airing of harmful content.

• Media broadcasters are now fully responsible for all content broadcast on their platforms.
• The directive applies to all media platforms, including live coverage of public rallies where inflammatory statements and misinformation have increased.
• This action reinforces Clause 11 of the Code of Conduct for Media Practice in Kenya, emphasizing broadcaster accountability for any violations, including hate speech.
