This is not my forte but I can’t help the urge and push to put my disappointments on course.

I have not trained as a journalist but am glad with the assistance of a very good friend Patrick Korir, I am getting there gradually. I never knew how full of fun it was writing, twisting words to make any boring story attractive, I have read with great pleasure articles that will leave you thrilled the whole week, pushing you to look for more. That's good writing from good authors as I have described.

Successful writers have had serious discipline within their profession thus making it big time in the writing and journalism industry.

I see journalists as celebrities, therefore i expect them to have high discipline levels, they also must be presentable because of the fact they command a lot of public attention.

A few of the journalist just like our local musicians control a lot of respect and audience, as much as I tend to think many need prayers, I can’t rule out the fact that they probably are in a wrong profession or they perhaps dropped at the positions from heaven.

Journalist and newscaster have at some point embarrassed the viewers with some jokes that do not make sense at all, at least to me; this has actually been a trend at one of the leading media houses when a change over between news and sports takes place. I have been severally been forced to change channels so fast to get the embarrassing personality out of picture at least for a while.

I have seen one reporter from this station at the Stadium carrying heavy bags Camera Stand and you know the necessary tools for capturing sports events, sometimes he is in a short trouser which makes me think he wants to appear like a lost tourist (its okay to wear short pants anyway), actually not necessarily a tourist, a confused person expecting to be noticed.



How do you carry a Camera, Still Camera, a Camera Bag, Camera Stand, a Note Book I mean, all the sports office news gears by yourself, doesn’t the station have enough crew members ??. It reminds me of old days when tourists over loaded their bicycles with personal belongings riding to Mount Kenya for three days.

Showing off is a way of killing your media personality, I think this lanky by spectacled reporter and many of the sports anchors in the other stations suffer from this decease. Show off is okay, but hey, who cares? Does it in a polite way, if your show off style comes out good, then you win.

This past Monday morning, yet again I was not amused by this reporters joke. He is simply annoying.

His counter part is in some GYM somewhere broadcasting live in the morning. The clip is okay until he insensitively states that some of the reasons that takes him to the Gym are - Women. For heavens sake, is that something he honestly want us the viewers to watch and listen to early in the morning?. If that is what takes him to the GYM then we do not want to know, atl east he should keep it to himself, What journalism class does he fall under?, am sure he is just out of place and does not deserve to be seen on TV, he might be better on Voice over in some radio stations or something.

Doesn’t this particular station have better programs to air in the morning other than giving airtime to some reporters asking a Gym instructor for dating tips?

This guy has many times embarrassed his colleagues, we see it, it shows on their faces, they are always left humiliated but still afford a smile, they run out of words to cover for his ‘unpleasant’ tongue mistakes. .

What is this ?... "Nice Shirt","Nice Suit","Nice skirt", nice this and that . . . nice embarrassing words. You guy just grow up. If you haven't noticed am annoyed for real.

Great journalist are nicely behaved and dress well too, Good example - John Allan Namu, he's got it and if he goes to the Gym for this other guy's reasons, he does not have to over work himself like he probably does with his awkward dating tips.

He goes to the Gym for his said personal reasons because traces of weight lifting are not evident on him.

Advice, calm down my friend, do your job and stop the senseless jokes you subject all of us to.

Scandals, like the one we hear you did across the borders while Harambee Stars recently played away, is a shame. You know what am talking about.

Do you have to pretend like you just met in the studios and you have been in the same office since morning. Hi so and so, its nice to see you, on Telly ??... be real.... Please!! ..

I now feel better
