On October 24, 2019, Citizen TV host Willis Raburu faced backlash from Kenyans after hosting a chef on his breakfast show with a bandaged finger.

The chef's injury was visible on live TV, prompting many viewers to express their disappointment and disgust on social media.

Many questioned why the chef was not wearing kitchen gloves while preparing the meals, especially with an injured finger.

Some viewers even wondered why the station had to air such footage on live TV, calling it a 'harrowing' experience.

One viewer posed the question, 'Is that a bandage on her finger? Why not wear food preparation gloves for the love of God?'

Another viewer shot, 'Cooking with a cut hand Willis Raburu seriously? There's no other chef you can bring without injuries very disappointing!'

Yet another follower posed, 'This is a national television, how dare you bring a chef with injuries, she should wear gloves when handling food. Unprofessional.'

The mean comments kept streaming in, with many urging the station never to repeat the same again.
