Acha kufananisha uanahabari wa Kenya na mambo ya ajabu ajabu. Nilipitia pitia Tv za Tz ili nitizame taarifa za habari na ilikuwa ni majanga tupu. Kuna aina mbili ya wanahabari Tz, kuna wale ambao huwa na mbwembwe nyingi kupitiliza utadhani wametumia kokaina na huwa wanapenda kuvuta maneno, naaaaaaaam! [emoji1] Wanaonivutia zaidi ni hao wengine ambao huwa wanajikunyata wakisoma habari utadhani studio ni open air, na kuna baridi kupindukia, na bosi wao ndio cameraman.
Alafu huwa wamevalia makoti oversize na wanapenda kutizama kamera kwa angle ya upande upande ni kama wanataka kufichua siri moja babkubwa. [emoji23] Walai hapa leo lazima watanitoa uhai! [emoji40]

 

[MENGELENI KWETU]

Hongera kwa Kenya..
Journalist Wakenya wapo juu sana..
I like HUSSEIN MOHAMED/ MOHAMED HUSSEIN wa Citizen Television.
Huyu aliwahi kum-interview DP Ruto mpaka nikaogopa nikasema sasa Ruto atarusha ngumi..!!
But the DP was calmly responding to qns.
Maswali kama yale hakuna Journalist wa Tanzania anaweza kuuliza..
Imagine mtu kama Cyprian Musiba wa Gazeti la Tanzanite..ptuuu.. takataka..!!!!
Hongera kwa Journalist wa Kenya.
