US TV presenter just one of many foreign broadcasters Kenyans have ‘greeted’

Somewhere in the United States, a New York-based TV presenter has learnt that mentioning Nairobi or Kenya bears consequences. His contemporaries in the industry had learnt that lesson years earlier.

That host, Rob Finnerty, got schooled the way Kenyans know best – through the use of social media. By now, he knows that Kenya is a country where “kusalimiwa” (being bombarded with messages on social media) is a common lobbying tool.
