In a statement dated Friday, June 24, Media Council showed that vernacular radio stations were the most notorious when it comes to being unfair in their coverages. The media council report was focused on how the mainstream media has been reporting on 17 aspirants who had expressed strong interest in the presidential seat
According to Media Council, Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leader Raila Odinga leads in media space consumption. Radio remains king in promoting diversity in coverage with 95.8 per cent coverage on presidential candidates during the week.
It was noted that UDA presidential running mate, Rigathi Gachagua, received fewer coverage compared to his Azimio counterpart, Martha Karua.
