Was Dennis Okari’s ‘Certificates Of Doom’ Expose Malicious? Here Is The Revelation

Finally, NTV’s much publicized expose, Certificates of Doom’ aired last night as prepared and narrated by its investigative journalist and former BBC reporter Dennis Okari.

This was the first investigative piece Okari came up with since his return from the short stint he had in BBC.

Okari revealed how Kenyans go to extents of getting certificates from the Nairobi Aviation College without attending any class. They just part with Kshs.3000 to land a certificate.

However, the expose has faced serious opposition and criticism from different quarters, with many feeling that it is malicious and ill-motivated to taint the name of Nairobi Aviation College.

One particular Kenyan to raise the issue first was blogger Robert Alai who even went ahead to pen a piece in his blog, narrating how Okari conspired with some powerful politician who owns an institution of learning to bring down Nairobi Aviation.

It is alleged that Okari’s expose was supposed to run on KTN but was rejected by John Allan Namu afterv realising that NAC was not given time to express themselves.

This is how the story landed at NTV.

What many are disturbed with is the fact that Okari’s expose looked very shoddy and thinly researched on, with only a single institution being the subject in the expose.

Kenyans are wondering why he did not sample a number of institution but picked on Nairobi Aviation alone.

Among the alumni of Nairobi Aviation are a number of journalists including NTV’s Enock Sikolia, KBC’s John Kago and Radio Maisha’s Beatrice Maganga.

Ghafla Kenya made efforts to reach out to Dennis Okari for comment over these fresh allegations but our frantic calls went unanswered.
