KTN Presenter Left in Shock as Moses Kuria & Edwin Sifuna Almost Exchange Blows in Studio

KTN‘s Morning Express show host Mike Gitonga had a rough time controlling Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, and ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, as they engaged in a heated debate, during a live interview on Thursday.

The journalist had convened the two politicians, as well as Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala, for a candid conversation on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), and the upcoming BBI consultative forum in Mombasa, on Saturday.

Tempers, however, quickly flared a few minutes into the discussion, after Kuria suggested that the BBI process was being steered by blindly and on a guesswork system.

”Until now, the issue of what the BBI was all about is a white cane mentality. We go, we stumble, we discover,” the MP said, with the discussion quickly escalating into a Jubilee Party analysis.

Kuria revealed that Jubilee had, so far, not held a party meeting to decide on its official stand on the BBI.

”That’s your problem, go deal with it,” Sifuna retorted, as the legislator called for a time out.

The show host had severally attempted to intervene as Kuria and Sifuna flung arms and pointed at each other, but their raised voices overshadowed his calls for order.

At one point, Gitonga appeared to give up, resorting to dumbfoundedly waiting for the situation to calm down.

Interestingly, Kuria expressed his envy at how the ODM Party conducts its business in comparison to his Jubilee Party, sarcastically inviting Sifuna to join the ruling party and restore order.

Sifuna, however, declined the offer to switch places with Jubilee’s Raphael Tuju.
