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.
