CNN international correspondent Larry Madowo has dropped a bombshell, accusing a Nairobi politician of paying hired goons an extra Ksh100,000 if they attack him.
Speaking on Monday at the height of the Saba Saba demonstrations, Madowo claimed that the goons had admitted to the agreement on video, as they had not been fully compensated during the previous protests.
Undeterred, the journalist clarified that that was not the reason why he missed the protests, but he had prior arrangements to be in Nigeria as an international correspondent. "We will not be intimidated.
Journalism is not a crime," Madowo declared.
