Outgoing Kiss FM morning show host Kamene Goro has explained why she is leaving the radio station after speculations she was fired.
Speaking in an interview after her last show, Kamene said her contract had lapsed and she didn't find the need to renew it.
She said allegations that she was a regular absentee at work were brought up because of the period she was ailing.“I have seen these stories, the truth is I was not fired, my contract lapsed and there was no need to move forward with it.
“I was however sick last year and I followed the protocol, gave in the letters, I never showed up at work sometimes but it is because I was sick. I also never showed up at work intoxicated because I run the desk and you can't run the desk when you are drunk,” Kamene stated.
The celebrated radio host also shared her opinion on Sheila Kwamboka who is taking her spot saying she was experienced and good to take her place.
"Sheila is a great lady, I have known her for a while she is very seasoned and I am happy for her and wish her all the best," she said.
Having been poached from NRG Radio alongside Andrew Kibe, a move that caused social media buzz, the two joined Kiss FM on June 14, 2019.
Later, Kibe left and was replaced by comedian Jalangó, and when the latter resigned to vie for Lang’ata parliamentary seat, he was replaced by Oga Obinna.
With Kamene’s contract ending, Kiss FM honchos decided not to renew it.
Sources at Lion’s Place, the headquarters of Radio Africa, say the bosses had grown tired of Kamene’s misdemeanour of absconding duty on flimsy grounds.
“Kamene made a regular habit of not showing up to work, and she could give all manner of excuses most of the time, saying she was sick, and later she would upload photos and videos on social media of someone in a totally different situation,” a source revealed.
