Duale Slams Standard Media for Canceling Interview, Alleges Bias After Gachagua’s KTN Appearance
Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has called out the Standard Media Group after his scheduled interview on Spice FM was abruptly canceled.
Taking to social media on Tuesday, February 25, Duale expressed his frustration, suggesting that the media house’s actions reflect a broader pattern in their editorial decisions.
“My sincere apologies to the listeners of Spice FM. The station’s owners have abruptly canceled my interview for reasons best known to them. This move speaks volumes, and now you can clearly see the pattern behind the Standard Newspaper’s recent headlines,” he stated.
Duale further pointed out what he perceived as biased media coverage, noting that just a day earlier former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was given an open platform on KTN News.
He alleged that the former DP dominated the interview show and spread falsehoods.
“Just yesterday, the impeached Rigathi Gachagua was given an open stage on KTN News to peddle falsehoods and wild imaginations,” he claimed.
“The platform was his, and he used it as expected. But let it be known; I did not seek this interview. They reached out to me. I was ready. Ipo Siku!”
Kenyans have since expressed mixed reactions following Aden Duale’s post, with many taking to social media to share their opinions on the matter.
Some users criticized the Environment Cabinet Secretary for prioritizing media appearances over his official duties, while others defended him, arguing that government officials should have a platform to communicate with the public.
