RUTO and his supporters to boycott Citizen TV, owned by RAILA’s friend, SK MACHARIA, after reporting mobs stoned the DP in Nyeri yesterday

William Ruto’s partners have dispatched scathing attacks on Royal Media Services-owned Citizen TV, over cases of malice and bias against the DP.

The politicians blamed a report broadcasted by the station on Sunday that showed the chaotic scenes during Ruto’s visit to Nyeri County.

The report alleged that the DP’s caravan was stoned by rowdy youth went against his visit to Kieni constituency.

The allies took issue with the headline “Nyeri Mobs Stone Ruto” claiming that the video did not validate the claims as there was no such occurrence.

“Citizen TV please show us the clip of the stoning incident, please,” Soy Member of Parliament and Ruto’s de facto spokesperson, Caleb Kositany, requested.

On his part, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, who is one of Ruto’s allies, threatened to mobilise DP’s allies to stop watching Citizen TV that is owned by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s friend, SK Macharia.

“I advise the Hustler Nation to desist from watching Citizen TV Kenya. They are taking us back to the dark days of KANU party and KADU where biased news was a norm,” Tweeted Sudi.

“As Hustlers, we can update ourselves using alternative sources like social media. Hata mlika mwizi iko na kazi yake! (Even the rudimentary phones have their work!)” he added.

Additionally, Ruto’s political advisor and specialist, Edward Kisiangani, accused the TV station for being one-sided against Ruto.

“I congratulate Citizen TV Kenya for openly being anti-DP Ruto and fiercely being pro-Raila.”

“Freedom of choice. No problem. Let us wait and see what happens when the people decide 11 months from now!” the political analyst stated,” he stated.
