“The thing with the Edgar Obare type of ‘exposés’ is that it’s poorly done journalism. One-sided stories, half-baked proof, more trolling than truth. Yet he’s using that to break homes, defame & maybe make money. Is he using spy software? I hope he has read the cyber-crimes act,” reads a Tweet from Kitili.

In another tweet, Kitili added that in this era people can forge WhatsApp chats juts to destroy someone else.

“Lakini my opinion does not in any way exempt anyone’s choices from consequences… I am simply focussing on the process..in these streets you can forge whatsapp chats and end someone, then hide behind ‘hide my identity,”added Kitili.

Media Personality Sharon Momanyi also joined the conversation saying “He’s repeatedly said that he always gives a right of reply? And that he gets his stories from legitimate sources. I imagine if not, he’d b neck up with law suits? But what do I know?I may not support this kind of “tea reporting”-but it exists. Even mainstream journalism has casualties”.
