Aiii, I know editors and their subs are wont to have a bad day or two, but the errors in this story are just too much!
I may allow for the editorializing attempt at interpretive journalism, but not some of the glaring factual errors of infidelity to such rules of conventional story-telling as accuracy.
That bit about David and Jacob’s family was plain journalistic laziness, possibly arising from unexamined cheerleading.
And the Kenya Times are not alone in this; the country’s Big Two also have their moments of mindless folly.
I want to hope their in-house editorial colleges will be a little more watchful, particularly as we head towards the next General Elections.

Too much mistakes, the sub editor was dead asleep. it clearly shows the editor was in a rush to get the story ‘keyed’ in but aleast they would have been more carefull.
