Tony Gachoka, the host of KTN's Point Blank, has found himself at the center of a storm after being accused of being biased towards Deputy President William Ruto.
The online brigades rallied to Ruto's defense, accusing Gachoka of using his platform to settle unnamed scores with the Deputy President, while disregarding neutralism.
The controversy began after Gachoka invited activist Boniface Mwangi on his show to discuss why Ruto was mentioned in a number of corruption cases.
Gachoka was accused of authoring statements that steered Ruto into the bad light, while reserving flattering sentiments for other powerful men in Uhuru's Government.
This is not the first time Gachoka has been under scrutiny for his open unpopular opinions. He has previously traded wits with Ruto's aide, Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, after posting that the 'marriage' between Ruto and Uhuru was long dead and buried.
