Waihiga Mwaura Forced To Apologize On A Feature Story That Aired On Citizen TV In 2019

Citizen TV news anchor Waihiga Mwaura was forced to apologize on feature story that the station aired on March 31, 2019.

This is after the high court found the story was defamatory and ordered that Citizen TV gives an apology.

The story was titled Cheating Teachers cartel dupes hundreds of jobless teachers in Nyanza whereby allegations were made against one Alfred Omayo Michael.

“On the 31st of March 2019 Citizen Television carried an investigative feature titled Cheating Teachers cartel dupes hundreds of jobless teachers in Nyanza. Now in the story allegations were made against Mr. Alfred Omayo Michael,” Wahiga said.

“The high court determined that those allegations were defamatory of Alfred Omayo Michael and that he is entitled to an apology from Citizen Television. We hereby tender our unreserved apology to Alfred Omayo Michael over the said allegations.

“We regret any damage or loss that the allegations might have caused to him,” the anchor further sated.

The feature exposed a cartel operating in parts of Nyanza that conned unsuspecting job seeking teachers thousands of shillings to get appointment letters from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).

The teachers would even be posted to schools with the fake letters.

Citizen TV reported that the cartel would even demand for more than Kshs80, 000 depending on where the teachers would want to be posted and the level of education.

The investigative journalist who did the story was even given a new ‘TSC number’ after they discovered that the one the journalist was using was incorrect.

TSC’s head of communication admitted that he was aware of the fake letters and that some of the cases were in the hands of the police.

He however denied denied claims that some of the TSC officials were involved in the scam.
