Dennis Itumbi has received wrath of Kenyans on Twitter.This comes after he lauded police after assault on journalists who were covering the Miguna saga at JKIA.
In a tweet on Tuesday morning, the State House Director of Innovation and digital communications said police had ‘done well’ to forcibly ejecting the media from the Jomo KenyattavInternational Aiport.
“We cannot have such kind of scenes in anInternational Airport anywhere in the world.Journalism is not an absolute right,” he said. Among reporters who roughed up is Citizen Tv Stephen letoo and KTN Sophia Wanuna and her cameraman.CitizenTV’s Stephen Letoo who is now hospitalised and later discharged.
Here are mixed reactions from KOT:
@Fred Ndaga inverted reasoning, you have become socompromised that you can't stand withjournos.. the police action at JKIA was anembarrassment, totally uncalled for and adirect defiance of court orders
@MarkDienyaYou'll one day be a victim of the CRUELhand of IMPUNITY, that's when you'llRealize importance of JUSTICE
@LeshanleshaoYou will be eaten by ants, you ain't special.It doesn't matter who goes first but we willall rot and turn the soil fertile.
@AbassItumbi you're a young man with a huge lifeahead of you, nobody knows what the futureholds for you, pls use your senses and don'tsupport the alienation of a Kenyan citizen.Miguna's harassment is illegal & subjugationof his rights.
@NtongaiWhat about the state disregarding lawfulcourt orders? What about that?
@sethOlaleYou're totally wrong. I was among thejournalist at JKIA. We weren't ordered toleave prior to the brutal attack on journalists
@ianOyaloYou are one of the reasons Kenya stagnates
@Ngaruthi Continue saluting because now you toe theline of the time sheet manager. Someday youwill be on the other side, and Itumbi fromWaiguruland will be asked to sign papers toenter Kenyattaland as a tourist. Impunityknows no boundaries.
