One of Kenya’s most prominent prime-time current affairs talk shows that airs in the evening, every Wednesday on Citizen TV, is trending because of last night’s interview with National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed.

He rubbished off his row with ODM secretary general Edwin Sifuna as mere divergence of opinions, hailed ODM-UDA broad based arrangement and launched scathing attack at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and ex-Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala.

Some have even coined a new name, a combination of both leaders’ names. WileeKuam YewRuto
