Taking to social media on Monday, September 6, Citizen TV News Editor, Muraya Kariuki revealed that Embakas East MP, Babu Owino had sent him life threatening messages.
Sharing the tweets and screenshots, Owino told the senior journalist to take responsibility of the negative news about Raila aired at the Royal Media owned station.
“You can enjoy your small cheo (post). You’ll take responsibility for the negative news you chose to air against Baba. We have proven beyond per adventure that you are on DP’s payroll,” reads the message.
Muraya has however asked Owino to let him do his work without any interference.
“It is not good manners to try scare lowly journalists. Tunaomba tufanye kazi kwa amani (We pray for peace as we carry on with our duties)…File a formal complaint please, with my bosses or any regulatory body that you feel would address your concerns,” Muraya stated.
Owino however remained solid that Muraya is on the payroll of Deputy President William Ruto.
“One mongrel with a bird’s brain holding diploma in Journalism, who is paid by DP to mess and/or soil the otherwise good name of Citizen TV is Muraya Kariuki. Rotten to the core,” Owino wrote.
