ODM Youth League leader Kasmuel McOure faced an unexpected hurdle during a live TV interview when he was asked to remove his branded ODM cap due to media guidelines.
Kasmuel, who was live on Spice FM and KTN, was informed by host Mark Bichachi that Standard Media Group (SG) does not permit guests to wear branded attire unless the respective party pays for advertising.
“Kasmuel, our editorial guidelines do not allow you to wear branded merchandise. If you do, then ODM will have to pay us for your hat, so we ask you to kindly remove it,” Bichachi stated.
Caught off guard, Kasmuel quickly defended his choice of headwear, explaining that he had not combed his hair before the interview.
“Because I had not combed my hair, I found myself in a dilemma. Therefore, I think if you give me some time, I will have to go and look for a comb somewhere or excuse myself,” he responded.
Bichachi then directed him to the station’s makeup room to freshen up.
“There is a makeup room. We will give you a chance to do that because we have to be fair to all other political parties,” Bichachi added.
The hosts urged him to hurry so the interview could continue.
“If I find an afro-comb, I shall be back very soon,” Kasmuel joked.
However, after failing to find a comb, Kasmuel was eventually allowed to continue the interview while still wearing the ODM cap.
