The journalist on Tuesday, November 15 went down memory lane about his job and his pet peeves about it.
In the Iko Nini Podcast, Murithi recalled how he had a brush with current Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen about a headline of a story.
"Something happened it was at the early stages ya Uhuru and Ruto kukosana. They were holding many meeting at Weston, so a source told me about the secret meeting and Murkomen had written something that Ruto wasn't happy about then they went to retract.
So when we were doing that interview I asked him a question, he retracted what he said earlier, so when that story went on air Editor wrote Murkomen ala matapishi yake . That brought issues and Murkomen told me I was twisting the words. We've had a love-hate relationship since that time."
Kennedy is also best remembered for a slight tiff with Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka several years back when he told Murithi that 'your name betrays you' after a question the politician did not like.
Kalonzo later apologized to Kennedy. Murithi also had an encounter with Trade CS Moses Kuria.
