Miguna took on his Twitter page on Friday evening to congratulate the News Gang team for a commendable job on the popular segment.

He said that the programme was refreshing, adding that Kenyans need more of such incisive analysis.

"Ms. @YvonneOkwara, @jageyo and @LinusKaikai are doing a commendable job at the @citizentvkenya's the News Gang. This is a refreshing program. A high bar. Journalism at its best. We need more incisive analysis like this. Not less. Bravo," he tweeted.

The programme which was unveiled last year in November has been vocal in matters affecting the country, especially in the political world.

The team features Strategy and Innovation Director Linus Kaikai, Editorial Director Joe Ageyo, Managing Editor (Swahili) Jamila Mohamed, Political Editor Francis Gachuri and senior news anchor Yvonne Okwara.

On Thursday, Yvonne Okwara blasted former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for what she termed as dishonesty.

She made reference to Raila's trip to China where he has accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta who is seeking more loans for development purposes. She reminded Kenyans how the opposition chief criticised Jubilee government over the country's rising debt.

"Odinga accused the Jubilee government of over-borrowing, overspending and over-stealing. He further told the President to wake up and smell the coffee that the country was on a downward trend," Yvonne pointed out the irony.
