Mugonyi on Sunday threatened journalist Justus Wanga with unspecified consequences over a story he did on cabinet list. In a tweet on Sunday, Etale asked Mugonyi not to allow power enter his head by intimidating journalists. "@Mugonyid That is being STUPID. Let power not enter your head. That is outright FOOLISHNESS. You cannot use your position to intimidate, harass and coerce Journalists. I repeat, that is being STUPID," Etale tweeted. "@Mugonyid MUST be told there have been people in similar positions. They had real power, resources & money. Lee Njiru, the longest serving head of the President's Press Unit. He was a humble man, always sitting with the lowly paid journalists to listen to them. He earned RESPECT," the ODM official added. Etale further noted, "David Mugonyi by calling to shout at Justus Wanga, threatening to have him SACKED and swearing at him, you have EARNED yourself a new title, MR. BOSS. Chief, come down to the people. Respect other people."
