A Kenyan has called out the self-proclaimed know-it-all experts who have been patronizing Kenyan TV stations during the electioneering period while clamoring for the viewers’ attention.
In his rant on Twitter, the user by the name @PadreMusa, points out that some of these experts, who are often loud and intimidating, keep repeating what they say from one TV station to another.
We have about 15 experts patronizing TV stations as experts. Regurgitating what they said on and on without much thought or depth. They don’t care to engage the other panelists, leave alone answer what they are asked.

The know it all experts according to @PadreMusa, have an opinion about everything and anything under the sun.
They will comment on matters religion, geology, geo-politics, economy, security and of course, they all are political analysts.
They have unrivalled acumen and prolific expertise in all these fields.— TweetingPriest (@PadreMusa) October 31, 2017
But he dismisses their expert opinion to nothing better than your average guy across the street.
Never mind Kenyan politics has no science behind it. Little wonder the best antennae you can best tune into is a taxi-man, shoe-shiner or the newspaper vendor. They are fresh and at often objective.

The interviews in his view are a total waste of time, a mess, a sham.
As for the interviewers, that is a whole mess right there…
For now, I know, we deserve better.
Until we have the kind of interviews and debates where one will feel intimidated and subjected to credibility test. Let us not pretend we are not doing it for clicks. Sham!

He also finds the ‘station-hopping’ by these experts a bit annoying.
Some will be interviewed in three stations in a day or have a late night show on citizen then early morning they are fresh on NTV.

And he has some piece of advice for lawyers, who never seem to agree on an issue when they are part of the panel.
The lawyers should give these interviews a break, for one, no two lawyers agree on a single clause. Their legalese doesn’t make them smart either. Many have come out arrogant and vile while still using “my learned senior mumbo jumbo..”

The tweep concludes by wondering aloud why the so called security experts are not decorated but instead decorate their CV’s.
Any security expert must be decorated? No, you decorate your CV, and turn to TV. One is a Captain retired, a maverick veteran!
Sit up, use Dr, Prof, Bishop, SC…be loud, aggressive, vexatious and you get a permanent seat in these interviews!
