During an interview on Wednesday morning, there was some friction between NTV news caster Mark Masai and presidential contender George Wajackoya.
Wajackoya was being hosted by Masai on the AMLive program when they talked about his candidacy. When the professor was asked if he was “winging” his presidential campaign, he appeared insulted.
Unfortunately, Wajackoya misinterpreted Masai’s query as a rejection of his political aspirations.
“What are you asking me, my friend, did I just join there (presidential election) to joke? I have been to many law schools, did I go there to joke or graduate? Why do you people, including yourself doubt me?” he posed at the journalist.
Masai attempted to rephrase his query and break it down, but Wajackoya became increasingly angry with the line of inquiry.
“Don’t ask me things you cannot answer yourself. I cannot come here and you ask me are you winging it? What is winging to Kenyans? To my supporters? I told you I am here to win the elections,” Wajackoya maintained.
Wajckoyah apologized to the NTV news host for misinterpreting the question after both parties reached an understanding of the current situation.
“I’ve already been labelled this or that. I am in it to give these people a surprise and when i win that’s when my critics…that’s when I’ll answer some questions but I’m sorry if I went overboard because I appeared to be arrogant, but I refrain myself. You’re a young man that I would like to work with in the new government,” he said.
