Presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot on Monday bashed NTV journalist Larry Madowo for tweeting about his ‘mammoth’ crowd in Naivasha.
Mr Aukot in a series of tweets noted that Madowo was a "socialite fake journalist" who was ignorant of facts about leadership.
He noted that the NTV news anchor was a cheap journalist with bias and did not deserve his title.
The Third Way Alliance Presidential candidate schooled Mr Madowo on leadership stating that being a good leader was not about popularity but content.
Mr Aukot sarcastically mentioned that Madowo was acting like his secret campaigner, asking him to come out "instead of hiding in ignorance".
Here is a series of tweets from the Presidential candidate.
I gather that @LarryMadowo has a good grasp of our campaigns and busy selling us in his own images ? WOW! What happened to his journalism ?

Do you really think the guy is worth the title of a journalist we all know with such bias? Not only do i find him fake, but also cheap https://t.co/CLCxKwNuog

The Presidential Candidate made the remarks in response to a tweet from Larry where he had stated that Mr Aukot was running for the Presidency yet no one knew about him.
Larry attached a photo of Mr Aukot addressing a small gathering and captioned it "Mr Aukot addressing a mammoth rally".
