Ole Kiyiapi and Mutoko


Caroline Mutoko
Woke up this morning to a very long and very curt sms from Presidential Aspirant Prof. James Ole Kiyiapi (see below, word for word)

I believe there is a conversation there that needs to be had soberly by all of us. What's your take?

Hey - do try to stay away from the tribal, degenerative trash talk - try, try .....

I'm off for mass, catch-up with you in an hour. Yes, I'll pray for you:-)

“Hallo Mr. Levi Obonyo, Chairman Media Council! Am protesting in the strongest terms possible, the bias, unpatriotic and very unjust manner in which the Kenya Media is handling my Presidential Campaigns. Are we saying Money is what will decide quality and character of leaders in Kenya? Are we saying the message I gave to Kenyans yesterday on National Unity, youth unemployment, vision 2030, national security, food security, environment etc are noth worth analyzing? Are we saying RBK Delegates who met to Nominate me the Party’s Presidential Candidate are NOT Kenyans? I want an audience to present my complaints against blatant bias by the media. Since I resigned in April 16, never once have I hit headline news – all these other guys do so all the time. Just check today’s dailies and see how much more space my Party got in comparison. We Appreciate live coverage by k24 free of charge – a great service to people of Kenya. In news time, I got about 30-60 seconds and my worthy opponent took all the time. Is this what we voted in the new constitution? Very unfair and unacceptable for a progressive African Nation in the 21st Century. I am running to be President of the Republic of Kenya not Governor of Narok for God’s sake!".
