A Kabete Parliamentary seat aspirant, Wilson Karanja, has accused the media of bias in reporting the campaigns being conducted by various aspirants in the run up to next week by-election.
Karanja, who is vying for the seat on an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) ticket complained that the media is focusing on one particular candidate and ignored the other candidates.
The aspirant claims that the media has given too much focus on the Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) candidate Ferdinand Waititu.
“It is clear that the media has given much focus to JAP aspirant and ignored the rest of us, which is unfortunate,” he said.
Speaking at Uthiru on Tuesday, Karanja said the media as the fourth estate must exercise balanced coverage and give every candidate same publicity and coverage space.
He added that the media is being controlled by some aspirants a move he added questions the integrity of some media outlets.
Karanja, however, expressed confidence of winning the Kabete seat indicating that the people will decide through votes.
He said that he might not have the publicity of the media but he will have support of Kabete voters come Monday next week.
The aspirant appealed to Kabete voters to trust him saying he will spearhead development.
He pledged to work for the people and improve their living standards. The Kabete by-election is set for Monday next week with various aspirants battling out for the seat.
