Harriet Njenga has announced her resignation from the Salasya TV team following a recent interview involving Mumias East MP Peter Salasya on Milele FM.
The decision has sparked widespread discussion on social media after Harriet revealed that she was deeply hurt by remarks made during the interview.
According to Harriet, one of the main reasons behind her resignation was Peter Salasya’s reported response when he was asked about her during the radio interview. She claimed that the legislator denied knowing her, something she said left her disappointed considering the time they had worked together.
Harriet also expressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which the interview was conducted. She said the presenter, Tony Mwirigi, repeatedly asked questions suggesting that she and Salasya were in a romantic relationship.
According to Harriet, the repeated questions made her feel uncomfortable and placed her in an awkward position. She explained that the line of questioning shifted attention away from professional matters and instead focused on personal speculation.
Following the interview, Harriet announced that she had decided to step away from the Salasya TV team.
Her resignation has since become a major topic on social media, with many Kenyans sharing different opinions about the situation.
Some people sympathized with Harriet, saying media interviews should respect personal boundaries and avoid repeatedly asking questions that make guests or other individuals uncomfortable.
Others felt that public figures often face personal questions because of the public interest surrounding their lives, although they agreed that such questions should be handled respectfully.
The incident has also renewed discussions about the relationship between politicians, content creators, and media personalities, especially when professional working relationships become the subject of public speculation.
Harriet has not indicated what her next career move will be after leaving Salasya TV. However, many of her supporters encouraged her to continue pursuing her media career and wished her success in future projects.
