The role of a journalist is to inform, entertain and educate the public without fear or favour but at all times being objective and factual.<br /><br />But where should the ‘voice of the voiceless’ turn when police and the public turn against them?<br /><br />It was the case on Thursday when police turned their guns on journalists, who were only armed with their note books, cameras and pens, leaving them to scamper for safety.<br /><br />A group of about 30 local and international journalists had joined protestors at the Freedom corner in Uhuru Park, with a sole purpose of covering the anti-graft demonstrations that organised by Boniface Mwangi-led PAWA 254 and the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC).<br /><br />The group was violently dispersed as soon as they started marching towards Kenyatta Avenue roundabout.<br /><br />As soon as the protestors had left the Park, journalists who had been following the police found themselves in a fix.
