Celebrated news anchor and journalist Larry Madowo began his New Year with a twitter fight with Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu.
The journalist, who is currently enjoying his holiday in Europe, took on Wambugu over the MP's past comments in a past interview.
Black Lives Matter
Wambugu had shared a post in support of the #Blacklivesmatter movement which campaigns against police violence against Americans of African heritage.

"Shine on your way Erica BlackLivesMatter ICantBreathe," the legislator tweeted.
However, Madowo was not impressed by the Jubilee MP's support for the American movement given that Wambugu had allegedly stated that he did not care about police killings against NASA protersters.
"So you care about innocent black people being shot dead by police in America but not innocent Kenyans being shot dead by police in Kenya?" the NTV show-host replied through his twitter account.
"Rogue" NASA
Not one to take the comment lying down, the vocal MP shot back, claiming that no innocent people were shot dead by police in Kenya and that NASA had gone rogue in their protests.
It was then that Madowo castigated Wambugu and wished him an honest 2018.
"This is demonstrably false and you know that. But I guess this cognitive dissonance allows you to condemn injustices far away in America while justifying the same injustices in Kenya. I wish you a happy, honest 2018," he retorted.
