Shaffie Weru And Ciku Muiruri Put On The Spot On NTV Over “Lack Of Ethics” (VIDEO)

Shaffie Weru is one of the most popular radio personalities around and with great reason. The lad has one of the most popular show in his time slot -last I checked, second only to Mbusi on Radio Jambo. Ciku Muiruri also has a very popular show for her timeslot. The issue they were invited to NTV to discuss was ethics -or lack thereof- on mainstream radio.

We all know that the most popular radio show in Kenya would be Maina and King’ang’i in the morning aye? And their subject matter has raised eyebrows for many a year yet it is clearly what Kenyans want to hear -hypocrisy. I do not know why Maina Kageni wasn’t invited and if he was, why he couldn’t make it but I do know that Shaffie and Ciku were walking into the lion’s den. Whether they knew it or not is a different issue altogether.

From the onset, the NTV moderator, Mark Masai, had ganged up against them and sided with Fred Obachi Machoka and Lorna Irungu. First off, I realized the similarities in arguments that were used against the Radio Africa team have also been used time and again against Ghafla but that is neither here nor there.

However, I have to say that Ciku Muiruri’s argument was the most sensible and practical. She argues that Maina and King’amg’i in the morning cannot be shifted to evening because Classic FM is a business and as such the motto of any business is, “maximize profits, minimize operation costs”. Maina and King’ang’i are making money so the system works.

Lorna Irungu went off on a tangent arguing about whether or not a switch is possibly proffering the argument that,

“Who says the late night shows cannot be profitable.“

Wait, what? Check the KARF report.

One thing is stands, this was a fiesty debate that you just have to watch for yourself to believe:
