It was tough moment for Look Up TV presenter Eugene Anangwe who was interviewing Miguna Miguna when he decided to talk about his book Peeling Back the Mask, which was published in 2012.
Trouble started when Eugene told Miguna Miguna that his book depicted handshake partner Raila Odinga as a charlatan and someone who should not be trusted. Miguna Miguna, or General as he is fondly known, noticed that Eugene was asking the questions from a point of misinformation, a loophole that he leveraged on.
“Have you read it? I need to know whether you’ve read the book, because I’m not going to discuss something that you’ve not read,” he maintained.
Defending himself, Eugene noted that his questions are anchored on what the General wrote in the tell-all memoir.When it became evident that Miguna Miguna was not backing down, he admitted that he had not read the whole book.
“Don’t ask a question about a book you’ve not read. You’ve started off on a false premise,” Miguna Miguna continued.
He, therefore, asked Eugene to go read the memoir first then the two will have a knowledgeable discussion According to him, the presenter intended to question him using sentiments other people have have given him. “My suggestion to you as a journalist is this; read the book then ask me questions,” he maintained.
