The Media Council of Kenya (MCK) is demanding a thorough investigation into the abduction of Standard Group Associate Editor Alex Kiprotich, highlighting a growing concern over impunity for attacks against journalists.

Alex Kiprotich, an Associate Editor at Standard Group, was abducted and held for approximately nine hours before being found safe near Masinga Dam.
The MCK, led by its CEO David Omwoyo, has urged the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to bring those responsible to justice.
This incident follows a previous attempt to abduct Kiprotich in Nakuru County, for which no arrests were made, fueling the MCK's warning about escalating impunity.
