Media People I Do Not Know What to Think…

There is something I cannot understand with our media people, you guys have power of influence but instead you choose cell tape yourselves and your cameras and head to the streets. I did not understand that message!

You guys are an embarrassment to yourselves. Why do I say so, you people set the agenda for this country, you dictate what we read and watch. During the last general elections you guys preached so much peace until when we were going to vote I think, we were actually electing peace and not individuals.

You then took the ICC theme and that is what we have been hearing and reading about until we are so fed up.  You deliberately or conveniently chose to ignore the victims who are still crying for justice. And since you dictate how we think, you decided the post-election violence victims were not important, and you went ahead to rally your support to just the two important gentlemen in the country who apparently are the only ones being unjustly treated by the rest of the world. And now you guys are crying foul, make up your minds!

During the NO and Yes campaign you guys destroyed Ruto when he at one point was aired praising the then proposed draft constitution as very good only to change his mind later, you reminded him and us what he had said.

Just recently you went after the rogue preachers who used to get shots on the side and other things. You even went after the defense personnel who decided to borrow water from Nakumatt after such a hectic time. A daring thing to do, but you did it.

You guys have been an instrument of information for Kenyans although sometimes we do not like what you transmit, we forgive you because we are very forgiving and we have very short memories. For example off late you have just been broadcasting bad news, and we are left wondering isn’t there anything good happening in Kenya? 

What I do not understand is, your bosses went for lunch at statehouse it is alleged they enjoyed the lunch so much and forgot to raise pertinent issues.  And yet you guys keep giving these political leaders and their melodramatic campaigns so much publicity at the expense of other important nice things happening in the country. Now since they have stubbed you in the back what are you going to do?

My question still lingers do you not realize the power you have? Having said all that, what I found amusing was, while some of you were, cell taping yourselves and their cameras. You still followed the President to Meru and you still went ahead to broadcast his insults towards you. You guys are so faithful! But you can do better than going to the streets. By the way did going to the street help?...

Media people leave the streets to its owners and stick to what you do best. Fight from your backyard…
