Govt blocked from cancelling broadcast licences

15 November 2011, 08:48

The government has been blocked from cancelling broadcast licences or interfering with frequencies pending determination of a case by media owners.

According to the Daily Nation report, the High Court on Monday granted the interim injunction after the Media Owners Association (MOA) filed an application and a constitutional petition against the government. (Read: Kenyan broadcasters have only days to apply for new licences)

Following the order, the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) cannot cancel, suspend, restrict or interfere with media licences, frequencies, broadcasting spectrums and services before determination of MOA’s suit.
