I also thought so. Its very uncouth for KTN to do such a thing out of their interest in Car Track as a competitor in the Industry.
It is clear malice. Even if there are facts to support their story, what do we know Car Track is doing or not doing?

"Charles Okumu, a media lecturer at The Kenya Institute of Mass
Communication (KIMC), said: " Whereas there is nothing like complete
objectivity, when a media house owns a competing company to one they
want to expose it would be fair to subject all companies to the same
standards of investigation, but in this case a story abour Car Tracking
companies was reduced to only one focus and the camera was not allowed
to zoom. It is a sacrifice of journalism ethics."
But, Juma Ayansi, a media scholar, differed arguing that " as long as
facts are kept, then the duty of journalism has been served, facts are
sacred and opinion is free."
But both agreed that KTN should have declared their interest while running the story."

"However, KTN’s failure to declare its own interest in the industry has since drawn criticism. Its parent company, Standard Group, owns the only other player in the business, Car Track."
Does this add a twist to the Track it story?
