Chris Kirubi Attacks Local Journalists… Here Is What He Said
Kenyan journalists are on the receiving end of a barrage of attacks from business mogul Chris Kirubi following the Obama visit.
Through one of his social media accounts, DJ CK took issue with the manner in which Kenyan journalists were asking questions when they met Obama in State House on Saturday evening.
Kirubi was literally irritated by what he says are wanting questions they asked POTUS during his short-lived tour to his father’s homeland.
Chris Kirubi, a man who owns a media house himself, joins the bandwagon of Kenyans who have always had issues with journalists whom they term as half-baked and too soft on weighty matters.
He said:
His criticism came a day before his Capital FM landed an exclusive interview with Obama. Olive Burrows, the lady picked to interview, came under heavy scrutiny from a section of Kenyans, including her fellow journalists for what they said was a shoddy interview.
Citizen TV’s Jackie Maribe was criticized for posing ‘ an unnecessary and poor-researched question” to Obama at State House. Jackie asked Obama when he is lifting the travel advisory issued to US citizen who plan to visit Kenya.
Some Kenyans argued that Jackie did not understand who issued travel advisories and was posing the question to the wrong person. One of them said:
Anyamah Wa Anyamah:
Jacky Maribe Things.
The biggest brain freeze show when a Kenyan journalist asks Obama if he will stop US travel advisories. We don’t understand !
OMG, has Obama ever issued travel advisory!
Poor Kenyan journalists
Was it witch-hunt following CK’s rant on journalists?
