Twitter Bigwig Exposes Julie Gichuru For Pocketing Millions Of Shillings To Clean Up A Dishonest Scheme
After finishing with Larry Madowo, he’s out on the hunt once more and he says Swaleh Mdoe and Mwanahamisi aren’t the only news anchors who have received bribes. Pretty ex Citizen TV anchor has also been exposed for participating in graft.
Kenya’s enemy number one is corruption and whilst the media has been on the forefront to expose corrupt leaders, the hunter has now become the hunted.
Twitter bigwig, Cyprian Nyakundi, is concerned about corruption in Kenyan media. The blogger says some media personalities have built empires out of kickbacks.
Nyakundi hauled Julie Gichuru’s name in massive graft where he claimed the former Citizen TV news anchor was involved in media malpractice.
The blogger says Julie was paid millions of shillings to clean up a scam involving Ministries of Sports and Tourism.
He explains that Julie was hired to clean the mess by the two ministries which joined forces to launch ‘Kenya House’ during the 2012 London Olympics. Nyakundi says the failed project cost the country millions of shillings.
“As they campaign for a lifestyle audit on government officials, Some media personalities are swimming in a sea of riches made from Kickbacks . Kickbacks and the Kenyan media are two sides of the same coin. Do you remember when Swaleh Mdoe and Mwanahamisi were suspended after receiving a bribe from a flamboyant senator to Kill a story? That is one of the cases that Citizen tried to kill but in our dynamically changing digital space, hiding the truth is becoming a nightmare .
In 2012, the Ministries of Sports and Tourism combined efforts to launch what was referred to as “Kenya House” to run concurrently with the London 2012 Olympics, which costed the taxpayer hundreds of millions of shillings. To clean up the scam, Julie Gichuru was paid millions of shillings host events and televise from Kenya House, even though no meaningful benefit accrued from the expensive undertaking.” Nyakundi wrote in part.
