Last night, there were reports of an explosion at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. According to the police, a light bulb fell on papers burning them and leading to the explosion. A lot of people were not satisfied with that explanation, and one of them was NTV’s Larry Madowo.
Madowo said that Inspector General David Kimaiyo was not tweeting for himself, on his verified official handle @IGkimaiyo.
He wrote, “Whoever is tweeting as @IGkimaiyo please stop trolling us and go home. You’re drunk”
Perhaps these were the tweets that made Madowo make that statement.
It was not a blast at JKIA but some papers caught fire after a loose light bulb fell into a dustbin that caused panic at Java coffee shop.

@LarryMadowo @DeCaptainCFE @InteriorKE Correct info. When the bulb fell down it bursted making an explosive sound like thus causing panic. — David Kimaiyo (@IGkimaiyo) January 16, 2014

Madowo’s reaction made Kimaiyo feel insulted, and he demanded for an apology right away.
@LarryMadowo apologize to the public, myself and @LGtwits for such words. Call me on this number 0722444110. I’m waiting for your call. IG

@LarryMadowo @LGtwits whether bust/burst you can’t insult me. If you don’t tweet for yourself don’t assume others don’t. I demand an apology

The two seem to have reconciled now, and according to the sassy TV host, Kimaiyo will be live on NTV tonight.
Just had a great chat with @IGkimaiyo on phone. He will be live with us tonight on @ntvkenya with the official position @LGtwits
