West Pokot Governor, John Lonyangapuo., a seeming firebrand in comedic muses, carried on with his hilariousness after he made a joke most associated with his Kiambu counterpart Ferdinand Waititu.
While explaining to K24 TV anchor, Betty Kyallo, about why his county is better than Nairobi and Kiambu, he found himself mentioning the 'moving rivers' joke.
He argued that Nairobi and Kiambu had replaced fertile agricultural land with buildings and filled with scandals.
"The good news is that there is a very great wakening here and a desire that they want to do greater things than what they have done.
"We are now into cash crops like no other county before. You people are destroying yours by 'planting' houses in Nairobi and Kiambu and moving rivers yet here we are doing it," stated the governor amidst laughter.
During their spotlight interview, Kyallo acquired a new name which was given to her by Lonyangapuo.
"My new Pokot name Asis Sotin Cheporwala (Sun) given by the people and the good Governor John Lonyangapuo. Good morning," she wrote on her social media.
Betty described Lonyangapuo as a lively guest, "For real, he is hilarious! Such an amazing leader. Enjoying the shoot. You guys will love it!"
The journalist also revealed that the Governor showed her some survival tactics in the countryside (ushago).
In a clip shared on her Instagram, on Thursday, Lonyangapuo is seen demonstrating to Betty how to manoeuvre through a barbed wire without injuring herself.
As the governor goes through the fence, he explains, "You have to take care you don't hit the wire."
