These three have one thing in common,both are investigative journalists and both out to claim the supremacy title.
The KTN duo of Jicho Pevu and the Inside Story respectively have overtime gained respect going by their explosive exposes that causes uproar.
The NTV's new kid also has a reputable background mater of fact his colleagues call him the Private Eye due to his investigative instincts,he too has given explosive pieces especially in his days at the Kiss TV where he was the investigative news boss.
Post Westgate attack coverage has slowly and steadily surfaced a tag of war between these great journalists. In journalism there is what we call Scoop or in layman language,having an exclusive piece that no any other station has.
This is the ultimate jewel for any journalist and they'll kiss the king's a** or risk death just to have the scoop. This is exactly what has been going on between these people behind scenes.
Last week just when KTN crew had started running the Jicho Pevu and the Inside Story promo,promising exclusive CCTV footage from inside the mall,NTV fortunately got a CCTV footage and without a blink ran with it to the air.
This seemed to a party spoiler for the KTN crew who thought they had the creme,in fact immediately after the NTV's airing,John and Moha laughed off spontaneously without saying a word but that was so obvious.
One mole deep inside NMG told Nairobi Exposed,"we are determined to spoil the party,these guys (Moha,Namu) think they all that,those exclusive footage we also have,watch this space NE,we got more coming. By the time they'll start airing,Kenyans will have seen most of their supposed exclusives,this time we got our game up" a senior journalist in the NMG desks talking exclusively with Nairobi Exposed.
Then all seemed to had gone off,fast forward to Friday,received a text from the NTV mole "lmao,you guy should see what we got,total party spoiler,a straight ten exclusive CCTV footage,watch out for the bulletins,sijui watasemaji round hii,kuf dead" apparently NTV had acquired a new footage and were all set to show it.
Coincidentally,Moha and Allan were busy running promos,their pieces scheduled for the next day Friday so NTV's timing was attacking.
In the subsequent bulletins the footage would then be shown but I wasn't surprised,why? The most talked about footage had been fetched from CNN and they had exclusively aired it the previous day. On confrontation,this text came "don't be talking smack,we spent huge to get that footage,this is it,let's now wait and see what your guys have,I doubt anything new"
Another KTN mole quickly got in contact with Nairobi Exposed and surprisingly laughed off the drama in what she describes as "b*tching"
"bado haitoshi mboga[still doesn't weigh up] we got the heat check your mail for the snippet"
Another senior KTN anchor was overheard saying "you can have a 20 minute footage but what truth and angle you give and drive out of it is what really matters" this was a clear below belt kick at the NTV crew.
Conclusion; If that what we got has anything to go by,then,don't miss to watch Jicho Pevu and The Inside Story on KTN today and on Sunday then tell who between Dennis Okari,NTV and Mohamed Ali,John Allan Namu,KTN is the best at the game.
