Itumbi has on countless occasions reiterated that he is not the source of the said documents.
‘‘Media freedom is under threat in this country. The new constitution, even if it was voted on overwhelmingly is not working,’’ Itumbu told reporters from Muthaiga Police station early Friday, as Jackal news reported. ‘‘No matter the nature of intimidation, I will not reveal the sources of the information I have.
