Kameme FM's radio presenter contemplates committing suicide after getting fired

Kameme FM radio presenter Moses Kanyira was fired yesterday morning for allegedly going ham on Muranga's water tunnel and the resultant shortage of the precious commodity.

This news was revealed by blogger Wahome Thuku on Facebook who wrote, "I have long pulled down the update on Moses Kanyira the Kameme broadcaster/politician after getting more facts than I had. And I sincerely apologize to him. When I posted that, I had only one side of the story which I even did not disclose. I was not aware that his mom is unwell and the family will be raising money tomorrow for her treatment. I'm so sorry to hear that."

He continued, "But that is not the main reason for his predicament. What happened to Kanyira today and what he has shared widely and which was the version I had, is disheartening and very heartless to say the least. According to sources close to him, Kanyira was dismissed today for speaking about Muranga water problem on radio. Apparently, the show he aired jana did not go well with the Muranga county bosses and the station top management/owners.

Kanyira sent a very emotional farewell message to his colleagues today which I will not share if he has not done it himself. He says the events today almost led him to commit suicide. Losing a job when his mom is in hospital. Which heartless employer does that?

I DIDN'T know this Muranga water issue is a hot potato? Kwani what are the interests in it? Why would a broadcaster get fired over comments on Muranga water. Could the speculations about Muranga water be true?

Anyway, just a warning shot to journalists. Muranga water is now a killer topic."

In short, Kanyira was fired thanks to outside interference. This must be a bitter pill to swallow for him because he was in support of the government gagging media.

In a past post he wrote, "I am in media but in full support of government crackdown in media houses that supported Nasa political mutiny.some may argue that its way of curtailing media freedom,but we must all remember that political insubordination can lead this county to burn.can i ask a very simple question to the critics.can media be allowed to air alshabab live event? if the answer is no, why then can we allow media to broadcast recalcitrance?"

"I am passing the most trying period in my life. If it is not my God, this can amount to commit suicide (sic)."
