KTN’s Linda Oguttu Give #KOT a Dose of Their Medicine

 

They are definitely Africa’s most fierce group on twitter; Kenyans On Twitter better known as #KOT is a force to reckon with, mess with them and surely you will have ten thousand reasons to quit twitter.

First thing off the trending topic #Ebola is raising much concern with KOT, reason being? The national carrier Kenya Airways has refused to halt its travel to the affected countries in West Africa. The carrier claims it is taking all the necessary precautions by screening all the travelers from the West African states to make sure Ebola does not sip into the country. On the other hand, KOT thinks the steps taken by the carrier are purely for public relation purposes.

Look at it this way, nearly all developed countries which have far better sophisticated medical accessories have halted their travel to the affected West African states, but a national carrier of a country that is still ranked as a developing nation says it has mechanism to curb the spread of Ebola, I mean guys KOT has a thing to justify their concern.

Now this is where KTN’s news anchor Linda Oguttu comes in, apparently she does not like hearing all the noise being drummed by the bandwagon, she is more inclined to giving her fact according to what the World Health Organisation says. Linda differs with KOT and here is her argument on her twitter post:
