Former KTN news anchor Allan Namu has disagreed with Kenyans who were recently up in arms criticizing a BBC documentary that aired about prostitution.The documentary was a huge topic of debate especially after socialite Bridget Achieng came out to rebuke the international media firm for tainting her image in the video.
Society ills
Allan Namu said that what BBC showed can be seen in the society now especially with the recent deaths of Sharon and Monica.“I don’t agree with people’s sentiments that the documentary was meant to humiliate girls . That was the reality of someone’s life, that was someone’s story and if you look at even the news today, what are we seeing? Hiyo ni reality ama si reality? Girls are choosing to become the partners of people simply for money. And I am not saying that men don’t play that role, in fact, I think its men who instigate that. It comes from the man pushing, from a man’s greed and we should stop that kind of behavior.” he said.
Adding:“The truth of the matter is that she lived a certain life, she has moved on from it and we featured that and she talked about it. And she talked about it from a cautionary point of view. Nilipitia and these things are not very good. I don’t understand why things happened the way they did after.”
