The Media Council of Kenya has revoked the membership of a local journalist over unethical conduct.
In a statement on Friday, MCK said Dennis Kipyego's membership had been suspended for breaching and violating the Code of Conduct for the Practice of Journalism.
"...Kipyego's membership MCK015913 is suspended for unethical conduct. This is due to breach of code of conduct..," the statement read.
According to linkedIn, Kipyego is a freelance journalist with Media Max.
MCK said it will not take responsibility for any transactions between Kipyego and the members of the public on account of his MCK membership.
It further said it has put in place various mechanisms to help with verification of a journalist's accreditation status, reporting cases on violations against journalists, hate speech and fake news.
Media Act 2013 governs the conduct and practice of all media practitioners in the country.
