Print media journalists have been banned from attending public functions hosted by former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama.

An angry Muthama expressly notified newspaper journalists to steer clear from his events saying that their effect has never been felt.

The Opposition politician further accused the scribes of biased reporting explaining that the Ukambani region had been left out of coverage.

Muthama highlighted two mainstream newspapers in his rant cautioning them not to expect any advertising deals from the region.

Rachel Ruto is no stranger to making bold yet elegant fashion statements, but during the state visit of the Dutch royals on March 18, 2025, it wasn’t just her outfit that stood out—it was her shoes. The Kenyan First Lady stepped out in a pair of brown suede block heels adorned with a gold emblem.

Biased Reporting

"There has been a consistent scheme by these companies to marginalize Ukambani as if nothing good can come from here.

"Tomorrow you will see ‘very weak stories’ from different parts of the country as ours here go down the drain. This is completely unacceptable," he stated.

Muthama made good of his threat when, on Sunday, he invited all local radio stations to his function at Thinu Catholic Church, Kathiani constituency and gave explicit instructions to lock out journalists from the two newspapers.

"These young men you are seeing here will file their stories today and the earliest they will be published is next week Friday if they are lucky," he highlighted.
