Victor Kinuthia, a Citizen TV reporter from Murang’a County has been the talk of the internet since last night when Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro was arrested.
Kinuthia who was put on a live link during prime time breaking news fumbled with his English while trying to explain how Ndindi Nyoro was arrested.
Kenyans flocked the internet with criticism, laughing off Victor for lacking good command of English language at such a prime time.
Some went ahead to do a challenge on the same, but was this right?
Well, some argue that the Inooro TV reporter was just ambushed to do the live link.
But Citizen TV’s editorial director Joe Ageyo has come out to defend the reporter, saying that he did his best. Ageyo argues that he has bone live links for 21 years and it is no walk in the park.
He says Victor found himself in a breaking news situation and gave it his best, being his first live report ever.
” I’ve done this for 21 years and I can tell you it’s no walk in the park. Victor found himself in a breaking news situation and gave it his best- his first live report of that kind. He’s destined for greatness. Truly proud of him,” posted Joe Ageyo.
Ageyo was replying to a Kenyan who had raised concerns over Victor’s live reporting.
“I’m nt a jrnalst, bt frm a layman’s point of view, this is a very poor feed. Ur reporter dsn’t hav gud command of Eng lnguage, fumbled a lot. I couldn’t quite make wht he was trying to explain. Wth the likes of @LinusKaikai, @Fchurii, @YvonneOkwara @jageyo i thnk RMS can do beta,” Samson Owiti, a twitter user had posted.
