Mwende Macharia Speaks On Azziad Nasenya Walking Out On Her During An Interview

Radio Maisha presenter Mwende Macharia and TikToker Azziad Nasenya were involved in an unexpected turn of events during an interview that has left them trending on the internet.

Macharia had invited Nasenya to her show with the intention of showcasing her achievements as a young individual who had excelled in her craft. She saw Nasenya as someone who had achieved great success and wanted her to inspire the audience with her story.

However, the interview took an unexpected turn when Macharia asked Nasenya about her dismissal from the Talanta Hela Council, something they had agreed to leave out of their conversation.

“We agreed not to talk about it. No comment. Mwende, we talked and agreed that if you bring it up, I will honestly walk out of here. Because we cannot agree on something and then you go back on it,” Nasenya expressed her frustration.

Macharia apologized for the misunderstanding and tried to move on with the interview, but Nasenya refused to continue. She got up and walked out of the studio, leaving Macharia and the audience stunned.

Macharia later spoke to Nairobi News about the incident, saying that she had invited Nasenya to her show to showcase her achievements. She said that she had not intended to upset Nasenya by asking about her dismissal from the Talanta Hela Council, but that she felt it was important to address the issue.

“These are the occupational hazards we face in journalism,” Macharia said. “Sometimes, we ask questions that people don’t want to answer, but it’s our job to ask them.”

Nasenya has not yet commented on the incident, but her fans have expressed their support for her on social media. They have accused Macharia of being disrespectful and of trying to “bring her down.”

The incident has highlighted the importance of consent in interviews. It is important for journalists to respect the wishes of their guests and to avoid asking questions that they have agreed not to answer.

It is also important to be aware of the potential consequences of asking difficult questions. In some cases, it may lead to guests walking out of interviews, as happened in this case.

However, it is also important to remember that journalists have a duty to ask tough questions. If they do not, they are not doing their job properly.
