'Kanini Fingers Duale' Tittle on NTV

A dirty minded society, many have argued, but the ‘Kanini
Fingers Duale’ title aired on NTV Tuesday night may have been
a phrase commonly used, but with various meanings.

Tweeps on Tuesday night through Wednesday morning were awed by the
use of the language, many in fact arguing that the Media Council of
Kenya should step in to bring sanity.
A popular online dictionary defines the phrase ‘finger someone’ as “the
act of identifying someone as a certain person (As if pointing a finger
at someone).”

The context of the usage, however, differs, and for the case of Kanini
fingering Duale’ was purely a move by Mr Kanini to accuse Mr Duale of
having waged the war against the sugar report, leading to its ouster.
Some tweeps have, in fact, accused NTV editors of probably watching a
lot of pornography content, and as such, the results would be posting
such TV scrolls.

“Forget about super petrol, it now seems that NTV editors have been
watching too much porn. 'Kanini Fingers Duale',” a Kimani Mwangi said
via Twitter.
Insensitive

“#GitheriMedia indeed. Any editor sensitive on what goes on in society
would not use such a tagline "Kanini fingers Duale" NTV Kenya,”

Mwalimu Mutie tweeted.

Mbas Liech argued: “Yaani 2018 and educated Kenyans have no idea
what 'to finger' means in the context of Kanini to Duale?”

And even worse offline, writers had heated debate
Wednesday morning, with editors such as Tony, arguing that the rotten society is to
blame for the misinterpretation of the context of usage.

“That’s how dirty minded Kenyans are. People who always belief that
any act related to fingering is sex-oriented are misguided. Mature
people would know that easily, not the current, spoiled brats,” Tony

Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu on Sunday declared that he did
not support the ongoing demolitions of structures built on riparian land
in Nairobi.

Waititu suggested that the government should place the burden of
diverting the river on the investor instead of demolishing the entire
property.
Mambo ingine mimi naona pale, kama iyo watu wanasupport ubomoaji,
mimi hapana support. Mambo iangaliwe, kama nyumba yako imekaribiana
na mto, wewe uambiwe ni gharama yako kuhakikisha hiyo mto imesonga
kidogo
Which loosely translates to: (Something I am seeing with people
supporting demolitions that I don't support. This should be looked into
and if your house is next to the river you should be told to cater for the
cost of diverting the river to ensure it moves a bit),” Waititu stated.

UHURU NOT HAPPY AS RUTO CALLS RAILA ODINGA ''MGANGA'' FEW MONTHS AFTER THE HANDSHAKE

Migori Senator Ben Oluoch Okello has died in Nairobi.
Mr Okello, a former Ramogi and KBC radio presenter, passed on at
a Nairobi hospital after long battle with cancer.

CANCER

"He passed on at MP Shah Hospital shortly past midnight after
battle with throat cancer," his nephew and family spokesman Mark
Okundi told the Nation on Tuesday.
The Migori Senate Office also confirmed Mr Okello’s death.
"We are very sad to inform the public that Senator Ben Oluoch
Okello is no more,” Mr Oguda Walter, the communications director,
said.

“Join us in praying for his family during this most trying moment.
Other updates will follow after consultative meetings.”
Mr Okello, popularly known as BOO among his radio fans back then,
has been in and out of hospital.
He was recently treated and discharged from an Indian hospital.
“He had been in India for two months and was treated. He went
back for review and his doctors discovered a tumour that had not
healed,” the late senator's brother Dennis Ojwang' said.

“He was treated again and brought back to the country. He has been
recuperating at MP Shah hospital. Unfortunately we lost him at 12.30
this morning.”
The lawmaker's body has since been moved to Lee Funeral Home in
Nairobi.

SPECULATION

Mr Okello was elected Migori senator on an Orange Democratic
Movement ticket in the August 8, 2017 elections.
He replaced Dr Wilfred Machage, who decided not to defend his
seat and instead chose to vie for the Kuria West parliamentary on
Democratic Party ticket.
Mr Oluoch was among the many journalists who joined elective
politics last year.
He was working at the Royal Media’s Ramogi FM before resigning to
plunge into the murky waters of politics.

He clinched the ODM ticket before flooring his opponents at the
General Election.
But before his death, social media had been awash with speculative
information on his illness.
At one point, Mr Okello threatened to take legal action against
people who were speculating his death.
Mr Oluoch trained at the South-B-based Kenya Institute of Mass
Communication (KIMC), worked as a presenter at the Kenya
Broadcasting Corporation’s (Luo service) before joining the Royal
Media Services.

In the run-up to the ODM primaries, the journalist floored former
Migori County Assembly Speaker Gordon Ogolla, former Knut deputy
secretary-general Charles Katege, businesmen Eddy Oketch and Mr
Solomon Hodo.
