The fake campaign poster doing rounds on Social Media
KTN’s Managing Editor Joe Ageyo has denied rumours circulating on social media alleging that he is interested in running for a parliamentary seat in Bondo Constituency. He says that those are detractors only interested in maligning his good work.
In a statement posted on his social media page he said, “Over the last 24 hours, I have received inquiries from far and wide regarding certain malicious posts on social media about myself. If I didn’t care so much about the millions of Kenyans who have supported my work as a journalist for the last 18 years, I would not have dignified those posts by a response. ”
He further added that he greatly respects his work and would not want to torture his supporters with endless guesswork about his professional standing.

“To be clear, I do not come from Bondo Constituency. I have the best job in the world that I do not intend to trade for any other. The only election-related plan I have is to ensure that KTN News, the country’s only 24-hour news channel, whose founding editor I am, has the best election coverage in the country come next year,” he concluded.
