Nation Media Group is yet to explain to us how its journalist managed to establish that two oil tankers carrying fuel to Kenya had been struck by drones in the Strait of Hormuz, yet the newspaper could not provide the names of the vessels, their identification numbers or any independently verified maritime incident reports.
Al Jazeera, Reuters and other international media organisations have been following the conflict in the Middle East and the attacks on commercial shipping, but where is their independent confirmation of these two particular Kenya-bound tankers? Did Nation Media Group somehow acquire exclusive satellite intelligence that even the international news agencies and maritime security experts have not been able to establish?
The funniest part is that Nation based its dramatic story on claims made by EPRA Director-General Edward Kinyua before a parliamentary committee, apparently without establishing the identities of the ships supposedly immobilised thousands of kilometres away.
Surely a newspaper of Nation's standing understands that repeating what a government official told MPs is not the same thing as independently verifying that an incident actually occurred.
And to make matters even more interesting, the newspaper illustrated its story using a Reuters photograph of fuel tankers queuing at a depot in Nairobi, which tells readers absolutely nothing about the alleged drone strikes at sea. Surely somebody in that newsroom could have asked for the vessel names, shipping records, coordinates of the attacks and confirmation from the companies operating the tankers.
Nation Media Group, before frightening Kenyans with dramatic stories about disrupted fuel supplies, kindly show us the two ships and the independent evidence supporting the claims, because the Strait of Hormuz is an international shipping route, not some remote village where two enormous tankers can supposedly be attacked without leaving records that journalists can check.

Happy birthday, my gal! It’s yet another year filled with grace and favour.
Two years ago, on a day like today, we celebrated your birthday in shock, having been humiliated and disgraced by a man we had sacrificed everything to make king.
Today, as we celebrate your birthday, we thank God that we are a very happy family. Over the past two years, we have received countless blessings from God, as well as inexplicable favour and acceptance from the people of Kenya.
As we prepare to travel back home and engage the final gear in the liberation of our country, please accept my assurance that, on a day like today next year, I will throw you the biggest birthday celebration bash ever at the most coveted address in the country.
In our 37 years of marriage, I have made you many promises and kept most of them. This is one promise I SHALL honour and MUST honour.
