Taking to social media on Tuesday, September 7th, 2021, Muraya Kariuki, a Senior Editor at Citizen TV accused the MP of trying to hinder his ability to work wholeheartedly by sending him messages with intentions of scaring him while accusing him of praising Deputy President William Ruto being on his payroll and painting the Orange Democratic Movement Party leader in a bad light.
“You can take pleasure in your small cheo (post). You’ll be held accountable for the bad news you chose to spread about Baba, we’ve demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that you’re on DP’s payroll” the SMS sent out to Citizen TV’s Muraya Kariuki read. He shared the screenshot on his official tweet sent out on September 6, 2021 at 10:09 PM.
Mr. Muraya Kariuki urged the legislator to let him do his job in peace and if possible, he should file a complaint to his bosses or any regulatory body that he believes would address his concerns.
“I just received a very nasty phone call from a person who introduced themselves as Hon Babu Owino on +254 711 xxx xxx
This has to do with the work I do. It is not good manners to try scare lowly journalists. Tunaomba tufanya kazi kwa amani,” Kariuki’s first tweet on the matter that was tweeted out at 9:31 PM · Sep 6, 2021 read.
