Kameme Radio Presenter Accused Of Tribal Language Against Luos
Less than an hour ago, blogger “Kahawa Tungu” launched a very serious allegation towards Kameme FM presenter named Muthee Kiengei Watoria.
In a post titled: ‘This Kameme FM (owned by President Uhuru) Presenter Hates Luos with a Passion and Doesn’t Hide,’ it was alleged that the Kameme FM presenter had been replying to his Luo followers with tribal digs against their lack of circumsion rites. This was the evidence presented:
Now, I saw the post almost immediately it was published, and I was skeptical for two reasons:
1. I quickly scoured through Muthee Watoria’s posts done on April 30th, and came up with no post resembling the above mentioned jibe. I also looked for posts on April 30th that had 176 likes or 33 shares(or something siimilar) and there were none.
So maybe he deleted the evidence before I got to it, but then comes my second reason for skepticism:
2. Why would a Luo like a Kikuyu presenter’s Facebook page, let alone comment on it? If the status update did indeed exist, the presenter was most probably responding to a fellow Kikuyu, as they are 99.99% of the Kameme FM demographic. If it is a Kikuyu tossing an insult to another Kikuyu, it is very hard to accuse him of tribalism.
As an aside, please note that it is very easy to make fake Facebook status updates. There are many websites that can do this, including: http://www.fakebookstatus.com/
For now, that’s as much evidence that I could gather and post before the Internet Mob Justice League assembles, but we shall be looking for all sides of the story throughout the day. Keep it Ghafla! for more updates on this.
