Comedian MC Jessy of Churchill raw has apologised for embarrassing one of their audience members during a live recording of Churchill Show in Thika.
Jessy apologized after a clip went viral where he was making a joke about the man who has been identified as Mr Achoka something that elicited mixed reactions among Kenyans.
According to a section of Kenyans expressed their disappointment with the said comedian forcing him to aoplogize for making fun of Mr Achoka and even demanded an apology from the show.
In the clip, MC Jessy is heard saying,”Ladies hello… hawa machali handsome si wako peke yako, kuna wengine pia wanawaona…eee…tafuta kimtu tu, kiko na sura yake, private, sura personal (Ladies hello, these handsome men are players who date several women. Look for someone who is less attractive).”
Upon realising his audience was actually laughing after the camera focused on Mr Achoka, MC Jessy tried to salvage the situation by saying he was not talking about Achoka and instead likened him to a sponsor.
“Hapana…no…sio huyo. Hapana, huyo ni sponsor (I wasn’t referring to him. That one is a sponsor,” he said while laughing and pointing at where Mr Achoka was seated.
Taking to his twitter account jessy said, “Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. On behalf of Churchill Show & I, we want to take this apologise to Mzee Achoka, his family and Kenyans in general. I take full responsibility for the production of this episode that might have gone in bad taste,” tweeted MC Jessy.

Its wrong, a wrong can never be justified. But the fact that Mc Jesse has apologized, reinstates the wrong to a right if the offended agrees.
Its a big wrong, you just can’t call someone’s father a sponsor.
