Citizen TV’s Jeff Koinange is in trouble with netizens for allegedly hijacking a guest that was to be aired by KTN News presenter Tony Gachoka on his Point Blank show.
It is being argued that Jeff hijacked Sir Elvis who had already done a recorded show with Tony Gachoka and is set to bring him on his JKLIVE show that airs the same time as KTN’s Point Blank show.
This has brought Jeff under a heavy attack for what Kenyans on Twitter have termed as side shows.
They have accused Jeff of being unethical having known that Sir Elvis’ interview with Tony Gachoka was to air today (Wednesday).
Sir Elvis is set to appear on JKLIVE tonight for some Christmas carols.
Citizen TV in the morning shared a post showing that indeed Sir Elvis is set to appear on JKLIVE tonight, and at the same time, a post had been shared showing that the guest was to appear on KTN’s Point blank.
This forced Kenyans to form a hashtag that they are now using to compare the two presenters.
Here are some of the reactions that have put Jeff under a heavy attack.

I know that you people won't understand the reason behind all this. The need for ethics is paramount in the line of business, so @KTNPointBlank was to air the interview with @SirElviskenya but JKLive went and hijacked him and decided to bring him live on TV#TonyGachokaVsJKLive pic.twitter.com/8dbGmD3HfG

Him @TonyGachoka has always hosted serious discussions what @KoinangeJeff used to do but not now.
That is why he has opted to steal guests sasa #TonyGachokaVsJKLive https://t.co/HE7F6lPaWU

Since his days in KTN, Koinange has kept on recycling his guests. Whenever he hosts someone, just know there is an interest behind the decision. The show is lost taste. And by the way, only Grand Mullar and Atwoli comes outside Mt Kenya. It's fading out. pic.twitter.com/pmq8qzzwnl— Ann Nyarega (@AnnNyarega) December 25, 2019
Of this you are sure. @KoinangeJeff is the most overrated journalist on this side of the world. Jeff will ask pedestrian questions, betraying his shallow understanding of issues his guests discuss despite his bombastic approach to the debates. #TonyGachokaVsJKLive pic.twitter.com/rPUJX8HvDR

This is a group of corruption pillars in the country who are cleansed by Jeff from their dirty acts but the courtts later prove them wrong.#TonyGachokaVsJKLive pic.twitter.com/wBMiY6ZENv

If you are wondering who Jeff is, he is a friend journalist, left CNN under a cloud of controversy. Accused by the Nigerian government in 2007 of stage managing a story on Niger Delta guerrillas, which he denied. Back home, he is disappointment personified. #TonyGachokaVsJKLive pic.twitter.com/VEhUE9eFfB
