Babu Owino's Plastic Chair & The Podcasters "Paid" By Politicians 😳

Babu Owino sat on a plastic chair at Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi launch and Twitter lost it 😳 "Sign of disrespect", "this is unacceptable", "look how far he is from Sifuna". We zoom in on the photos and read the posts together: was Babu disrespected, or was it just a badly organised event? And why was Eugene on a proper seat while the man who brings the votes sat on plastic? Then John-Allan Namu went after Kenyan podcasters "receiving mountains of cash" from politicians, and some people decided he was talking about us. So let's be clear: that wasn't me. I've never received a mountain of cash, from Gachagua or anyone else, and I owe no politician my loyalty, only you, the audience. We play Namu's clip and ask: is podcasting journalism, and is "Githeri media" here to stay? To finish: Babu vs Sakaja for Nairobi governor. Sakaja is getting wealthy fast, El Niño is exposing City Hall, and a divided opposition could hand him a second term. Can Babu still win?
