The dictum that no press is bad press appears to have been vigorously contested with the saga surrounding Monica Wamaitha Gitau, a politician who has nabbed at the Royal Media Services offices in Nairobi, after a live TV interview.
Appearing on Inooro TV in full police uniform, Gitau claimed to have served as a police officer before retirement. Now she was ready to serve the people of Nairobi and she was there to canvass for her votes — there were some 5,000 officers in the city, she claimed, and rallied their bosses as well, who reportedly trained her at Kiganjo Training College.
