OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO @NEWSMAX RE: DEMAND FOR A PUBLIC, TELEVISED APOLOGY FROM @RobFinnertyUSA OVER HIS CARELESS REMARKS ON NAIROBI We demand that Newsmax take responsibility for the remarks made by Rob Finnerty concerning Nairobi and issue a formal, public apology to the people of Kenya. Nairobi is not merely a name on a map. It is the capital of a sovereign Continent of Africa, a home to millions of people, a major African economic hub, and a city whose dignity deserves the same or More respect as any other major city in the world. Freedom of expression does not exempt your incompetent staff and media organisations from accountability for remarks that demean, disrespect and or unfairly disparage other people and their communities. Our demand is clear and non-negotiable: 1. Rob Finnerty must issue a public, televised apology on Newsmax, addressing his remarks about Nairobi. 2. The apology must be delivered with the Kenyan national flag clearly displayed in the background, as a direct gesture of respect for Kenya and its people. 3. The apology must be sincere, unambiguous, and broadcast publicly on the same platform through which the remarks reached the audience. 4. The Your Staff Must Be Wearing a Kenyan bracelet and a Kenyan Jersey failure to which we demand his resignation with immediate effect. No private apology, written statement, social media post, or indirect expression of regret will be acceptable. We expect Newsmax to recognise the seriousness of this matter and respond with the respect and accountability that the people of Kenya deserve. Kenya is a sovereign nation, and Nairobi deserves to be treated with dignity. Our national pride is not negotiable, and neither is our demand for a public apology in a setting that visibly recognises the Kenyan nation. We demand nothing less than a public, televised apology, with the Kenyan flag displayed in the background. Respect Kenya. Respect Nairobi. Take responsibility. @CNN @SkyNews @BBCWorld @FRANCE24 @FoxNews @citizentvkenya @SABCNews
