MUTHONI WA KIRUMBA , THE QUEEN OF AIRWAVES.
Yesterday , team canjamüka fans which is co-hosted by Muthoni wa KIRUMBA aka Baby tops and bazuu mwenyewe kizangila mūthee Kíhenjo dropped a bombshell in his Facebook page. He bid farewell to his fans after she said her 12 years stink at Kameme FM is coming to an end. Wakirumba has been rocking the airwaves at Kameme FM show Canjamüka from 10am to 1 pm. If you have been listening to the duo , your ribs were doing an extra duty because by the end of the show , you needed to make relax for another 1 hour because of the laughter. She has commanded a formidable fan base that made majority of kenyans especially from Mt Kenya region were glued to that show each day from Monday to Friday.
What has caught my attention on this whole issue of Muthoni is the bluff and innuendos the Kenya Kwanza Alliance surrogates are parading. To them , Muthoni was fired because of not campaigning for Azimio la Umoja one Kenya Alliance coalition party presidential aspirant Raila Odinga and his running mate Martha Karua. This is emanating from yesterday's communique from former Citizen TV news anchor Hussein Mohammed citing media bias on his presidential candidate William Ruto. Ruto isn't a happy man. To him , he is citing the media isn't giving him the much needed attention and coverage. They highlighted the media houses that are leading in the biasness against him. Royal media Radio and Television stations eg Inooro TV/FM , Radio citizen , Ramogi TV , Citizen TV etc.
The question is , why are UDA supporters whinning and manufacturing a propaganda that Wakirumba was fired by Kameme FM? I didn't hear her citing anything like that? Again , if she has reached to a decision to advance her Journalism career elsewhere , what's the problem? Infact , she has been in Kameme FM for the last 12 years. This isn't a mean feet achievement. As a journalist , she also has a right to incline to her political affiliation she demeans fit without coercion from her employer. The desperate Kenya Kwanza Alliance coteries is monumental. They now want to caricature this issue of Wakirumba to attract sympathy and gain political mileage which so far has hit a snag.
Muthoni wa KIRUMBA has also been instrumental in nurturing and promoting artists from her home County of Nyandarua. Playing their music on air especially in her show. The most coincidental thing is , both her and her co-host Kíhenjo hails from that County. Benga artists like Kamoko , Jose Gatutura , Samidoh etc understands too well how Wakirumba was instrumental. They owe her alot of respect. From my end , the Canjamüka show was one of my favorite. Wakirumba was bringing doctors to address various illness , Lawyers , Kenyans who have beaten the odds to raise to stardom etc. In short , it was an educative show as well as an entertaining one.
Those especially in Kenya Kwanza Alliance who are politicizing this issue should just backtrack and come with something else. When Hussein Mohammed left Citizen TV where he has spent countable years , did they bother to dig why he decided to leave? Did they say SK Macharia was coercing him to market Raila Odinga against his will? Kenya Kwanza are lacking content. Things are going South. They didn't anticipate that , political dynamics will shift dramatically. They are now bitter , bitter with everyone including themselves. They should allow Muthoni to do her things in peace. I don't know whether they were privy to the contents of Muthoni's contract with Mediamax management. So , they are holding brief for her as who?
