Kenyans on Twitter have gone ham on TV host Jeff Koinange accusing him of failing to professionally moderate a live debate between two Nairobi gubernatorial aspirants where vile comments touching on rape were made.
Controversial politician Miguna Miguna stunned viewers of the popular JKL show when he told his rival Esther Passaris “you are so beautiful, everybody wants to rape you”.
All Koinange did was, “say can we get back to the issues?”.
There was an awkward moment when Koinange read out a tweet urging Miguna and Passaris to “get a room already”.
Passaris had quipped that while Miguna accuses her of corruption, she has never been accused of rape.
SOCIALITE BIMBO
The feisty politician claimed that the Passaris had claimed that she would take a sex holiday in 2008 if Cord leader Raila Odinga was declared president. He also called her a socialite bimbo.
In response, Passaris: “he is so full of rumours and rumours and rumours. I feel he has no respect for women, and 50 per cent of the voters in the city are women.”
Miguna further accused her of “selling beauty and that she is nothing but a flower girl”.
SUING MIGUNA
On the show, Passaris who is owns Adopt-a-Light, revealed that she was suing Miguna for a Twitter post where he called her a cartel.
“I just hope he has enough money to pay everyone that will sue him,” he said.
The fallout of the show was started by Passaris.
In what has become his trademark style, my opponent resorted to insults and demeaning words AGAIN to try and win the debate.

It’s unfathomable to me that a man with so much hatred and bile can even stand to run for Governor, let alone win.

Jeff Koinange should stop conducting shows in which participants insult each using vulgar language. How can the nation watch such shows!

I stopped caring about #JKL after the stunt he pulled on @bonifacemwangi. That was very low of him considering where he’s been before.
