Nairobi gubernatorial hopeful Miguna Miguna has accused Standard Media Group’s KTN and TV host Jeff Koinange for secretly filming and distributing a video of him at the show.
Miguna says that KTN through, Koinange filmed him during a commercial break as he made off-screen “rape comments” about fellow aspirant and panelist Esther Passaris.
Miguna wrote to the Media Council of Kenya (MCK) saying that the clip posted by KTN portrayed him as unable to hold the Nairobi governor’s office ahead of the August 2017 elections.
“The foregoing media house secretly, illegally and without consent recorded, maliciously edited and published a distorted portion of an offensive and unauthorised version of the illegally recorded conversation on the Internet, in gross violation of my legal and constitutional rights,” Miguna said.
The duo of Miguna and host Koinange have received criticism from the public for engaging in and encouraging sexist attacks on national TV.
