Kenya journalist escapes abduction after criticism of president, says CPJ

A prominent Kenyan journalist narrowly escaped an abduction that the Committee to Protect Journalists attributes to backlash over his newspaper's harsh criticism of President William Ruto. This incident highlights the growing risks journalists face in Kenya, especially when they speak out against government officials. Such attempts at silencing critics are alarming, as they undermine press freedom and the democratic process, raising serious concerns about the safety of journalists and the health of Kenya's media landscape.
