In numerous professions, you conceal your mistake. In news coverage, you broadcast them. So give Victor Kinuthia a reprieve. Was his first live interview in a chaotic scene. He’ll learn like a number of us. How about we revisit this when he makes it in a few years, In Sha Allah.

We have all been laughed and mocked for being an embarrassment on air. I was even advised not to use the name Walubengo once. But you get better. And skill is a muscle, you shape it, tone it and work at it. All the best.
