On September 3, 2019, Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji directed the Inspector General of police Hilary Mutyambai to investigate allegations of child neglect and misappropriation of public funds at Child Welfare Society of Kenya.
The directive comes after a court order barred NTV from airing an exposé titled 'Sins of Saviours', which the TV station claims will reveal the truth about the Child Welfare Society of Kenya.
NTV had scheduled to air the exposé last Sunday night, but the state corporation obtained a court order to prevent the broadcast.
According to NTV, their investigative team had obtained damning evidence of embezzlement of public funds and exploitation of special needs children for profit.
Despite the court order, NTV has vowed to use all legal channels to ensure the story is aired.
"Our lawyers will fight to have this order vacated, this documentary will air, and those tormenting the children will be exposed," the TV station said.
