 The said journalists were roughed up by security apparatus as they covered the ODM party event held at Chungwa house. The Media Council also condemned the act and called on the ODM party to arrest and take action against the security cum goons who are responsible as soon as possible because journalists’ security and freedom is a priority. and this prompted public outcry with bodies.
