When word went viral that the legendary Vitimbi actor and father of Kenyan comedy Mzee Ojwang had breathed his last, everyone from the president to local TV stations took to social media to eulogize the fallen hero.

But according to a Kenyan by the name Ludiema Luwosi, TV stations shouldn't have done it at all. Reason being, they only come out to support actors when they are dead but while still alive, they frustrate their efforts leaving them feeling unappreciated. We have heard alot of actors complain of poor pay by the local stations and lets hope, from today hence forth, they will support the local talents.

"I dont think akina MSK, KBC, KTN, NTV and just every media whatever put together should even eulogise MZEE OJUANG' basing on his acting career. Do not tell us how sijui he did not save and that current actors should learn from his death! Do you know why I am so angry, i'm angry because, these actors only become important when they die, are sick or facing problems in their lives. When they are gracing your screens, you pay them peanuts. For you its about making sales and increasing viewership. You dont care how these people survive nor if what you pay them is enough to get them through the present and remain for future preservation." 

The agitated Kenyan wrote on Facebook, raising a debatable motion among social media users. Below is the screenshot
