The news anchoring business in Kenyan is always full of beauties who make sure Kenyans stay locked during news.

From Betty Kyalo to Lilian Muli to other common names, Kenyans always droll over these news anchors. When it comes to Swahili anchors, there’s a new face stealing the show.

She goes by the name Gladys Mungai. Mungai, who anchors Swahii news at KBC, was previously at Ebru TV.

Extra

Unlike many other Swahili anchors who have stuck to only news, Mungai goes the extra mile and also hosts events. She’s also a motivational speaker.

“When you are young or new to the practice, not so many people vouch for your ability to deliver. That should not deter you. The harder you persist, the smarter you become, and the better your performance.
Everybody starts somewhere,” she says.

Grandpa records singer Mistony chased away like a stray dog at KBC for being skimpily dressed

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Ex-UK singer now signed to Grandpa Records, Mistony, recently had to cancel her interview at KBC after security guards denied her entry for being skimpily dressed.

The singer shared in an interview that the guards told her to wear a leso before entering or leave the premises. Angered by the remarks of the Security officer, the artist decided to ditch the interview in protest.

She said that other stations had allowed her into their stations and couldn’t understand why KBC had to freeze her.

“I was well dressed, and I think it is time we start embracing modern culture. Above all, I am an artist; and media houses know that better. I felt humiliated,” she narrated.

Dress code

The Afro-pop musician has termed the incident as awful and humiliating while Grandpa Records CEO Refigah wondered why the station had a dress code in the first place.

“It felt extremely awful to be turned away by that TV station, yet other media houses received me well in those clothes. I respect my body. So, I wouldn’t expose it with an ulterior motive. I was well dressed, and I think it is time we start embracing modern culture. Above all, I am an artiste; and media houses should know better. I felt humiliated,” Mistony told Hot 96 FM.

Refigah said:

“There was a time we were at the TV station for an interview, and they did not mention anything to do with attire. So, why introduce a dress-code now?” poses Refigah.
