Standard and Nation Dailies came with extra editions on the raids this morning and afternoon. KTN is on air again and everybody is having his say including opposition leader Uhuru Kenyatta who said that this act by the Kenyan government is putting back Kenya two decades into time, thereby indirectly critisizing his former leader Daniel Arap Moi.
