KOT Culture
KoT is known for "making know". Many have taken the accustomed path to refer to the fact that KOT likes bashing non-humanitarians, as "making know". These criticisms of KOT always send fierce messages to the world if something is wrong or has been done by a public figure or organisation especially the government. Besides this, it has helped many people clear hospital bills in millions of shillings. Many too are on look out for people or media houses trying to undermine Kenya's peace and also those trying to destroy Kenya's publicity. Take a case of Kenyans getting angry with CNN for trying to misrepresent Kenya's image in 2015.
