[kictanet] Media: Congestina Video Clips offensive

[Odhiambo Washington]

What is so bad about the videos?

How would you have known about her case?

Would you have believed word of mouth without any supporting evidence
(video)?

What is so strange with someone having a psychological problem being shown
on TV to highlight her case?

I find some positions taken by Kenyans quite strange.

You'd rather hear (and not take steps to go see for yourself) about it than
be shown?

Everyone who reads from the press knew (somehow) that Conjestina had
suffered a mental degradation, but everyone remained
least bothered, right?

Now someone highlights it on TV and we call that offensive, irresponsible?
What a joke!

I personally feel the journalist who did the story deserves one of those
CNN Awards for the story. Without the TV footage, Conjestina would continue
to rot in her humble abode.
