According to the original account, Julie Gichuru, a journalist at Citizen TV, has faced criticism from Kenyans on Twitter for her interviewing style and perceived bias towards certain individuals. The criticism began after she conducted a Sunday Live interview that raised eyebrows, with some Twitter users accusing her of doing public relations for corrupt individuals.
The Standard Newspaper reported that Julie Gichuru was too easy on Evans Kidero, a former Nairobi governor, during an interview. Additionally, she was allegedly part of the committee for Kenyans for Kenya, where funds could not be accounted for, alongside other notable figures such as Abas Gullet and Bob Collymore.
Julie Gichuru has also been accused of doing public relations for corrupt individuals in other scandals, including a sports scandal. Her name has been mentioned in a controversial football tender, and she has been accused of preparing questions in advance for her interviewees.
The original account notes that Sunday Live, a show hosted by Julie Gichuru, no longer trends on Twitter, suggesting that Kenyans may be losing interest in the program. This has led to questions about why a once-respected journalist like Julie Gichuru is losing credibility.
The issue raises concerns about the Kenyan media landscape, where rich and corrupt individuals may pay journalists to do public relations for them, damaging the credibility of journalists and media outlets. The original account alleges that this has happened to Julie Gichuru and suggests that she may be overrated and should exit the screens.
The original account also calls on Citizen TV managers to address the issue of indiscipline among their staff, citing cases of bribery and corruption.
