William Kingi has termed the CA's shutdown of local TV stations airing Raila Odinga swearing-in as "draconian, intemperate and totally uncalled for".
The Mombasa deputy governor noted the switching off of signals - that affected NTV, KTN, KTN News, Citizen and Inoroo TV - was a violation of the freedom of expression.
He said the attempt was futile as the National Resistance Movement is unstoppable.
"By scapegoating the media, the Jubilee administration is only demonstrating its incompetence in dealing with matters of national interest. The action is tantamount to the proverbial ostrich burying its head in the sand to escape responsibility," Kingi said.
"It should be recalled that the struggle for independence happened without the benefit of live TV, the internet or modern technology."
Nominated MCA Moses Aran, who moved the People's Assembly motion that triggered the inauguration of Raila and Kalonzo Musyoka - said Jubilee's attempt to curtail their freedom is "treasonable and an attack on the sovereignty of this nation".

Aran said the "foolish" and "desperate" attempts will not get in the way of the endeavours of "our president".
Mombasa does not recognise Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto as president and DP following the passage of the People's Assembly motion.
Locals had hoped they would watch the NASA event at Uhuru Park on real time basis.
Aran earlier said: "This is the day. Baba (Raila) will lift the Bible and save us from the bondage and shackles of this dictatorial and illegitimate regime."
Hassan Abdul, a Mombasa resident, said they resorted to live streams.
"However, not all have sufficient bundles to catch the unfolding events. This is a special day. Jubilee should not dare mess it up through foolish moves."
Peter Nderitu, a hawker at Mwembe Tayari, said the shutdown was a big win for NASA.
"It proved the government had panicked," he said.
