Media and Elections: Our Journalists must Follow the Rules to Prevent Chaos

Levi Obonyo writes that the media was patly to blame for fanning the 2007 general elections. The media has therefore been working on codes of conduct for all media stations and also for individual stations.

The responsbility for peaceful elections however lies in all Kenyans not media alone.
