Last night, KTN’s Ann Kiguta got the chance to interview deputy president William Ruto. Coming just after Julie Gichuru had failed at it (according to Kenyans on Twitter), Ann had to do it differently.
The deputy president has a reputation of being ‘uninterviewable’, as he always seems to be doing the interview himself. This is what happened to Julie Gichuru on her Sunday Live ‘debut’.
Ann therefore decided to show Ruto who’s in charge in those studio walls.
Unlike in Julie’s case, Ruto was not given unlimited time to sell their manifesto. Actually, he was often cut short. Some people felt that he should have been given more time to state his case.
Others, accused Ann Kiguta of rudeness and arrogance, but a good number still thought she handled the deputy president way better than Julie.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter.
