The Statement issued against the Nation Media Group, telling governors not to advertise because they are being named for corruption, is also illegal. Let them stop being a club of illegalities. Let them know that this country has a law. We are glad that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) spoke about that.
