   Kenya: Publisher jailed over magazine story. The publisher of "Finance"
   magazine, Njehu Gatabaki, has been sentenced to six months'
   imprisonment over an article entitled "Moi ordered the Molo Massacre".
   The main story, which appeared in the magazine's December 1997 issue,
   dealt with killings which occurred in Molo, Kenya, just prior to the
   1997 general election.
   A court in Nairobi found Gatabaki, who is also a member of Parliament
   in Kenya, guilty of "publishing an alarming publication," reported the
   Network for the Defence of Independent Media in Africa (NDIMA) as
   relayed by IFEX.
   But Gatabaki told the magistrate that he had suffered for publishing
   the truth. "The truth will set this country free. The articles were
   true. I'm ready to bear that burden of bringing the message to
   Kenyans."
   Gatabaki, who was unrepresented, was given 14 days to appeal against
   the sentence. Judge Ms Karanja said that she had considered the
   publisher's mitigation, which she described as little more than a
   political speech.
   "I've taken cognisance [of] the fact that the accused is [a] lawmaker
   who should be making laws and not breaking them. This is why this
   conviction should be taken very seriously," she said.
