The Star newspaper yesterday came under attack for their front page story. ‘Gideon Moi is Uncircumcised Says DP Ruto,’ screamed the headline.
It is not the first time the paper has published headlines that would ordinarily not be ran by other newspapers. A lot of Kenyans think the Star is no better than the numerous Sh10 gutter papers sold in downtown Nairobi, or the gutter blogs mushrooming everyday.
Following that headline, KOT took time off their ‘busy’ schedule to send a message to media houses.
Here are some of those.
Hahaha this kind of reporting tho.. ??#KOTMessageToMediaHouses pic.twitter.com/xbScTGNUMh
