NTV's explosive exposé 'Sins of Saviours' is set to air tonight, following a Nairobi Court's dismissal of Child Welfare Society of Kenya's (CWSK) suit against the media house.
The court's decision comes after a month-long legal battle, which had blocked the airing of the exposé on September 1, 2019.
According to sources, the CEO of the Child Welfare Society of Kenya, Irene Mureithi, had obtained orders blocking the broadcast of the program, claiming that NTV infringed on the rights of the children.
However, NTV's investigative team had given the CWSK an opportunity to respond to the allegations, and had corroborated each document and evidence received to confirm the reports.
As reported by Edmond Nyabola, a member of the investigative team, 'We went out of our way to corroborate each document and evidence we received to confirm all reports we got and sought to speak to everyone responsible, including the CEO of the Child Welfare Society of Kenya, Irene Mureithi.'
The court has also lifted the injunction, including another application seeking the arrest and detention of NTV journalists Nyabola, Mark Masai, and Managing Editor Emmanuel Juma.
During the time the matter was in court, NTV obtained more damning reports of corrupt dealings within the state corporation involving five projects started by the organization and funded by the government in various parts of the country.
