K24 Editorial 29th July, 2019 12:41 PM

Former Jubilee Party Vice Chair David Murathe and K24 Tv host Anne Kiguta.

Kenyans on Sunday July 28, expressed mixed reactions following an exclusive interview done by K24 TV journalist Anne Kiguta with the former Jubilee Party Vice Chairman David Murathe at his residence at Garden Estate.

Kenyans on Twitter, under the #MuratheOnPunchline that went viral for the better part of Sunday, expressed their opinions and concerns with some accusing Murathe of being hypocritical during the interview.

Some have also cited frustration as the reason why Murathe is desperately opposing DP Ruto’s 2022 presidential bid.

Here are some of the sentiments.

Anyone who listened carefully to David murathe on #punchline, could easily tell murathe's frustrations. The whole thing began with thwake dam.. Murathe's bidding fell flat foot. Sorry man for losing such a lucrative tender. #muratheonpunchline

During the interview, whenever Murathe would refer to Kenyatta extending his term, he would say, “….he’s not INTERESTED in reviewing his term limit”. Key word is INTERESTED. Why not say, “He WILL NOT…” These guys are up to no good for Kenya. @AnneKiguta #MuratheOnPunchline

Problem is, most of us expect our current leaders to chose their successors yet it's us who should. Waiting on people's word of mouth like it's Gods'. #MuratheOnPunchline

David Murathe is being insincere on this one. There is no such a big data mining company that was paid perhaps in Billions could work in Kenya and the candidate is not privy to their involvement in his campaign #MuratheOnPunchline pic.twitter.com/w87dI75UlO

Was there anything explicit in the Jubilee coalition agreement about Uhuru supporting Ruto following his two terms? Can we get copy of that agreement? @Maskani254 #MuratheOnPunchline
