Media geniuses should save us the ‘investigations’

Over the last couple of days, the Kenyan online community has had its guns pointed towards Mugo wa Wairimu. For those who have no idea, Mugo wa Wairimu is a typical Kenyan imposter who has been, allegedly, sedating his female patients before raping them. In fact, he is an extreme case of Kenya’s renowned ‘team Mafisi’ sect.

However, one thing that I’m failing to understand is why Citizen Television had to let the crime happen and then use it as a big story to expanding their viewership. I find their action both unethical and illegal. As a matter of fact, they should have protected the woman from the ordeal instead of letting the crime happen then reporting it.
