KTN presenter Tony Gachoka was on Wednesday, October 16, arrested at the Diani Airstrip in Kwale.
Gachoka was arrested after he insisted on boarding a plane with alcoholic drinks.
Msambweni OCPD Nehemiah Bitok confirmed the incident and stated that Gachoka wanted to carry some of the drinks in his bag and some on his hands, going against the airline’s rules and regulations.
He added that Gachoka started becoming rowdy and hurled insults at some the passengers who tried to calm the situation.
Gachoka is expected to be arraigned in court on Thursday, October 17 to answer to charges of causing disturbance.
In 2015 a similar occurrence happened after the media personality was banned from appearing as a guest on Jeff Koinange Live (JKL), which aired on KTN at the time.
Gachoka’s ban came after he allegedly turned up for the live show while drunk and uttered defamatory statements against senior Government officials.
“Gachoka produced a lot of shockers of his own and we at KTN feel we had to take a stand because of his mannerism and behavior and what he was saying. Going forward from now on Tony Gachoka will no longer be a guest on this show,” Koinange announced.
