EXCLUSIVE: Gidi Ogidi Leaves Radio Jambo

 

One of the most listened to and revered radio shows in the country, the Gidi and Ghost show, on radio Jambo is on the brink of extinction following an imminent departure of one of its founders and drivers Gidi Ogidi.

The show has established itself as one of the most popular among Kenyans thanks to the genius of Gidi Ogidi and his co-host Jacob Ghost Mulei.

However, the show on Radio Jambo is likely to take a new look after Ghafla! Kenya exclusively learnt that its main host Joseph Gidi Ogidi, the Unbwogabble hit maker, is set to leave at the end of his contract.

Ghafla Kenya has exclusively obtained a letter Gidi wrote to the Radio African Group Human Resource Manager requesting that he leave the station in the next 6 months after his contract expires.

Gidi says in the letter that he will also be relieved in case the HR considers terminating his contract at this stage but be paid in the period it will stand until its completion.

“It is with regret that with this letter I tender my resignation from your employment and therefore giving up my post of Radio Jambo presenter observing 6 months’ notice from the date of the letter as per the terms and conditions of my contract of employment. Should you wish to forfeit this period of worked notice I would be willing to exchange the period for paid absence,” reads part of the letter we are in possession of.

Gidi has been one of the most vocal and listened to radio personalities in the country and his departure from the station will definitely come with its consequences.

When we contacted Gidi for comment, he simply said:

“I cannot deny or accept the information at this moment but Kenyans will know everything in the near future”.
