Kenya's Cartoonists Turn To the Web

Posted
By: As Kenya's print press faces increased government censorship, some of the country's best-known cartoonists have turned to the Web to get their work out.

Inter Press Service reported that the new site (http://www.kenyatoons.com) features cartoons such as one showing President Daniel arap Moi receiving an Oscar for best dictator.

The site's launch comes at a time when Kenya's government is taking more aggressive steps against the media. There have been a number of defamation and libel cases against newspapers and bookstores in which President Moi and other officials won record damages.
