K24 TV, Oscar Sudi, and Uhuru Kenyatta clash over media criticism of President Ruto's government

The conflict began after President Ruto accused Standard Media Group and its owner, former Baringo senator Gideon Moi, of running a propaganda campaign against his administration. K24 TV, owned by MediaMax which is linked to former President Uhuru Kenyatta, then published an open letter to President Ruto criticizing his attack on the media, linking it to the remembrance of young Kenyans who died during anti-government protests. Oscar Sudi, a vocal ally of President Ruto, responded by accusing former President Kenyatta of hypocrisy and using MediaMax to undermine the current administration, referencing a past comment by Kenyatta about newspapers.

K24 TV issued another open letter to Sudi, defining selective amnesia in public leadership as forgetting voters, the cost of living, unemployed youth, struggling parents, and small traders after elections. Sudi then criticized Kenyatta's administration, accusing the former president of leaving the country in economic distress and with empty coffers.
