William Ruto was a special guest in last nights Sunday live which also was the premiere of Julie who have been on a break from the program in months. However the notable outspoken DP overpowered the TV host and became uncontrollable. Its always the interviewer to moderate and dictate the direction the discussiontakes but in this case the reverse was true,it’s a known factor that Ruto is a talkative and smart politician who took the opportunity to sell out his policies as the ” weak” Julie stared helplessly. Despite the calls from the director to have the show cut and for Julie to wind up,the powerful Ruto seemed unbearable and this saw the show go on unplanned 15minutes extra time. All this time Julie tried to stop the DP to no success.
The whole interview sparked a series of mixed feelings from many people in twitter including fellow journalists and others. Below is a sample of the tweets in reaction to this:
@RamzZy_: Have you watched how Ruto has interviewed Julie Gichuru on Citizen TV? Amazing!
“@Mwanikih: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for watching and see you next week. I have been your host William Ruto.”
“@OliverMathenge: And Ruto took control of the interview and even asked more questions..”
“@MoHa_made_: Ruto is hosting himself on Sunday Live.Julie is the audience
“@RobertAlai: Ruto and Julie Gichuru were on a #Tujuane date.”
“@GidiOgidi: William Ruto has taken over the Interview KUSEMA NA KUSEMA @juliegichuru”
“@jamessmat: The only thing a Journalist can do is ask QUESTIONS- ask them truthfully, and firmly otherwise that’s not JOURNALISM that’s PUBLIC RELATIONS”
“@John_Nyongesa: Jeez @juliegichuru …that @WilliamsRuto interview was unbecoming for your comeback. Your lips must be sore. ..that kissing was massive”
“@GicheruGicheru: If Julie interviewed me for a job she would probably end up making me her boss…I love meeting mediocre panelists like her”
This is not the first time Julie’s credentials are coming under scrutiny,if memory serves you right during the historic presidential debate early this year,she was falsified for having mediocre interview prowess and inability to take control of the interview as is expected of a programs host. Politicians are opportunists and will pounce on the slightest chance they received to turn garbage into gold,Julie soft zone has become the easy path through for them and if you watched last night’s program,Ruto took advantage and did a massive tax free PR for the government as someone said Kusema na Kusema.
