On September 11, 2019, a live TV interview with Citizen TV's Hussein Mohammed left Ndindi Nyoro, a Kenyan MP, reeling with no answers to give.

During the interview, Mohammed exposed Nyoro as a hypocrite and political sycophant who prioritizes serving his political master, William Ruto, over the consequences of his actions.

Nyoro was put to task over his 2017 social media posts, where he encouraged the police to 'rain havoc' on Raila Odinga's supporters.

When questioned about his remarks, Nyoro claimed that the country was descending into chaos during the contested elections, and he regretted the 'vile language' he used, but agreed with the content of his posts.

“Once upon a time, of course, I was very critical and kind of revolutionary, maybe because of age and maybe some language was harsh to those who were being meted by the immoderations of power. When I was writing what I wrote, it was at the height of post-election skirmishes. I regret the language but not the content,” he said.
