The children of Citizen News reporter Francis Gachuri were
on Tuesday night heartbroken by the fracas at Wiper Party Headquarters which
saw their father roughed up by rowdy youth affiliated with NASA.
The three youngsters witnessed the horrific incident on
television as their dad was descended upon by the goons.
The trio moved on to write a sweet letter to Gachuri
simply assuring him of the love they have for him.
Mr. Gachuri’s attack was heavily condemned by members
of the Fourth Estate, who accused NASA supporters of profiling journalists
along tribal lines.
However, NASA leader Raila Odinga publicly apologized
over the shameful incident noting that the youth was acting on their own
accord.
He mentioned that investigations will be made and those
culpable will be punished.
"We wish to make it clear that the youth acted on their
own and we condemn their actions in strongest terms possible. We ask media
houses that may have captured the said youth on video to provide them to the
Coalition for investigation and action,” Raila's personal assistant Dennis
Onyango said.
