Last night, Julie Gichuru made her return to Sunday Live. On her ‘debut’ she had the honour of interviewing Deputy President William Ruto.. but as it turned out, Ruto interviewed her.
As is the norm with Julie, she failed to ask the hard questions, leaving the deputy president to promote their manifesto. Though she touched a little on the Sh100 million house renovations, Julie failed to ask any credible follow up questions.
Unlike other seasoned interviewers, she let Ruto completely take charge, and the DP only stopped talking when he had said enough (according to him), and at times unimportant statements. Though the interview was supposed to bring the DP to task on what they have accomplished in 100 days, Julie allowed Ruto to endlessly talk about what they intend to do in the next four and a half years.
Kenyans on social media were not impressed with Julie’s interviewing skills, and below are some of the comments.
