Reporter leaves meeting after row
A journalist from a vernacular radio station was over the weekend ejected from a function on claims that his employer was biased.
The station was accused by some news sources of being a mouthpiece for some politicians.
Speaking at an Eldoret hotel, former Marakwet West MP Francis Mutwol, and about 20 other elders and politicians blamed the situation on a top employee of the station. After an argument that nearly degenerated into a fight, the journalist left the hotel.

It is quite unfair from the leaders especially a former MP to harrass individual journalists on such grounds that a senior employee of the station he works for is unbalanced and biased. The journalist cannot be put to bear the blames of another employee. The leaders should have employed better means to put forward their grievances and complains with the management of the said station instead of humiliating the reporter.
