Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i was on Tuesday asked to shut down Kenyan media after two stations announced that they would be holding an interview with suspended IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba.
Lawyer Nelson Havi put in the request, accusing the media of being part of a larger scheme by unnamed persons to bring back Chiloba to the public eye.
The lawyer claimed if the shutdown was effected, nothing would be missed from the news of the day, an argument that was supported by a number of his followers.
Here are some of the comments that were shared on the trending topic "Ezra Chiloba".
The hashtag trended on Twitter on Tuesday as Kenyans and United States (US) citizens living in the country came together to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 1998 bomb blast that took down the Nairobi US embassy.
