Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka has responded to President William Ruto's continued mockery of his lengthy stint in politics and leadership. 

Addressing a crowd in Bondo town, Siaya County on Sunday, Kalonzo agreed that indeed he has been a mainstay in Kenyan politics, with vast experience as a politician and leader, but said in those years he has not committed some of the atrocities allegedly committed by other leaders. 

"It's true I have been around for 40 years as Ruto claims, but I have not killed anyone's child, I have defended the rule of the law together with other many leaders. I have been here for 40 years, but I haven't done what others have done in 5 or 10 years," Kalonzo said.

Online harassment targeting journalists has escalated into a global crisis. Across digital public spheres, it threatens press freedom and individual safety.

In Kenya, this hostility often unfolds on social media platforms like X and Facebook, where journalists covering politically sensitive events face coordinated attacks. For instance, following critical coverage of state policies or public protests, journalists are regularly branded as โ€œpolitical mercenariesโ€ or โ€œtraitorsโ€ in comment threads, prompting audiences to swarm their personal accounts with threats.

Digital attacks like these actively erode public trust in news institutions. They create a hostile environment that pressures journalists towards self-censorship. Yet, these attacks also unfold before audiences whose reactions can strengthen or weaken their effects.
