NTV's explosive exposé 'Sins of Saviours' will finally air tonight, Tuesday, during the 9pm news bulletins, after a Nairobi Court dismissed a suit blocking its broadcast.
The court's decision comes a month after the CEO of the Child Welfare Society of Kenya, Irene Mureithi, obtained orders blocking the airing of the exposé, which was initially set to air on September 1, 2019.
Ms Mureithi had claimed that NTV infringed on the rights of the children, despite the station giving the CWSK an opportunity to respond to the allegations.
However, the court has now lifted the injunction, including another application seeking the arrest and detention of NTV journalists Edmond 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.
According to NTV's investigations, the state corporation has been abusing children's rights by denying them proper healthcare and dignity, and has turned into a scheme where special needs children are used for profit.
