Nation Media Group's NTV is set to air a feature that was aimed at exposing government officials who were exploiting children.
The station had been served with a court order barring the broadcast of the story dubbed Sins of saviours.
Sources who spoke to Kenyans.co.ke disclosed that the ban was lifted on Monday, September 30, after a month-long court battle that eventually allowed the media house to air the feature, on Tuesday, October 1 at 9 pm.
However, after NTV was blocked from airing the feature on August 29, Standard Media Group's KTN went ahead to broadcast the damning story on September 3.
Child Welfare Society of Kenya (CWSK) had accused NTV of infringing on the rights of the minors even after the station gave them (CWSK) a chance to respond to the investigation's findings.
The court also dropped another application that sought to arrest and detain Edmond Nyabola, Mark Maasai and Managing editor Emmanuel Juma.
The piece was aimed at exposing child abuse and wanton looting at the CWSK, a state corporation charged with the responsibility of taking care of vulnerable children in the country.
During the news hour at NTV, Edmond, a presenter at the station, explained why Sins of Saviours, would not be aired on Sunday, September 1, 2019.
The media house claimed that had been investigating CWSK and had received damning evidence pointing to outright embezzlement of public funds at the expense of the children.
However, during the probe that involved speaking to those responsible, including the CEO of CWSK Child, Irene Mureithi threatened the station and sought the intervention of the court.
"She left no doubt that she is prepared to do everything and anything to ensure the story does not air by making unethical or virtuous to us, claiming she knows people in high places.
"When all that did not work, she mischievously went to the children's court, and using falsehoods and assumptions, got orders on Friday, barring us from airing the feature, Sins of saviours, this Sunday," Nyabola had stated.
