Citizen TV on Sunday ran an investigative piece christened Virusi Safarini which highlighted how drivers were dodging cessation of movement in Nairobi to smuggle people out of the city to the North Rift region.
The piece done by Investigative Journalist Purity Mwambia used secret cameras to expose how a drivers ferried them out of the city through a series of steps that makes it possible for them to pass police roadblocks mounted along the Nakuru-Nairobi highway.
Citizen TV's Swahili news anchors.
In the investigative piece, Purity is recorded using a secret camera boarding a private car together with several passengers as they left Nairobi CBD for Eldoret after parting ways with Kshs3000.
They alight when nearing police roadblocks and board a motorbike to pass the barrier as the driver is allowed to pass since he is believed to be from the neighbouring community.
After successfully passing the roadblocks, the Taxi driver links them to a shuttle when reaching past Nakuru at a junction between Nakuru-Kisumu and Nakuru-Eldoret.
The reporter finally confirms she has arrived in Eldoret as she questions the government on the practicability of the cessation of movements.

However what has angered the majority of Kenyans the move by the Citizen TV Journalist to expose the identity of the Taxi driver and the number plate of his vehicle that ferried them out of Nairobi.
Kenyans lamented that it was unnecessary to expose the Taxi Driver since he was looking for a means to earn a living at this time of Covid-19 pandemic.
Here is how Kenyans reacted:

That wasn't fair, you should have exposed the so-called "System" and NOT the mwananchi #VirusiSafarini Shame!
PEASANT FARMER @MutukuJMutua
Purity Mwambia and her filthy shit #VirusiSafarini thinks we Kenyans are afraid of dying. After all we all die. If we die we die who cares bora nikufe kama nimeshiba juu nasikianga ukifika kwa sir JAH unapatanga wasee wamedish supper so you only wait for breakfast.

Purity Mwambia's popularity had faded away from the mainstreams limelight so maybe her advisers told to her to get something to make her trend but they got it wrong
Ken Agwambo™ @AgwamboKen2
But honestly Purity Mwambia and @citizentvkenya you did wrong on exposing that man and his car altogether. I thought the people who should have exposed are the policemen at the roadblocks, i mean that's the reason why roadblocks are on the roads

Someone is out here struggling to feed his family and this tekashi69Tv station expose him na kuna watu wa nazurura everywhere holding parties in the name of political meetings. Go find them
Embakasi landlord @REPTILE_OBERI
Purity Mwambia @PurityMwambia Is setting up beef btwn Journalists and the Public & soon Journalists will be chased away from reporting huko kwa maHustlers juu wanaogopa kukuwa exposed.
Same thing the public is so raged about #policebrutalityke & hate all Policemen
TES-TAI: @Paul_Koskei
@PurityMwambia is known for exposing the faces of her targets. When @K24Tv She did an expose on the Prostitution of Married women at River road Nairobi and she didn't care hiding the faces of the targeted women. SHAME.

It is absolutely irrelevant for Citizen tv to snitch on innocent kenyans who are trying all means to survive where the government has failed. Politicians move day and night holding meetings and violating Covid-19 prevention measures without any action taken

This 21st-century journalism is something else, yani @PurityMwambia anauliza mama wa watu ka haogopi kupeleka corona place anaenda yet yeye na crew yake wanafinyana kwa ma3 na watu wengine ama hii corona inachagua wa kuinfect
