[kictanet] Is Kenyan Media Asleep?

[Lucy Kimani]

@Buruchara, +1

Kudos @Kenya Media, for love of country

Kudos @Kenyans, doing us proud showing patience of saints

Dismal performance at IEBC buck stops with you, Kenyans deserve better! Need to step up! 

Respect the institutions that you want to lead at Presidentisl candidates remember all complaints go to court vis-vis code of conduct that you signed!
