Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni walked out of a live TV interview on October 23, 2024, following controversial remarks made by political commentator Maalim.
The interview, which aired on TV 47, took a dramatic turn when Maalim made statements that Kioni deemed offensive and inflammatory.
During the discussion, Maalim allegedly criticized the leadership of the Jubilee Party, questioning its relevance and direction in Kenya’s current political landscape.
His remarks appeared to touch a nerve with Kioni, who felt they were not only inappropriate but also aimed at undermining the efforts of his party.
Kioni, visibly upset, responded sharply to Maalim’s comments before removing his microphone and abruptly walking off the set.
The unexpected exit left the show’s host and viewers stunned, bringing the interview to an early end.
This incident has since sparked widespread reactions online, with some supporting Kioni’s decision to leave while others felt he could have handled the situation more diplomatically.
The interview has also reignited conversations about the ongoing challenges facing the Jubilee Party and its leadership.
Kioni has yet to issue a formal statement on the incident, but political analysts believe this outburst reflects the deep frustrations within the party as it navigates the shifting political landscape in Kenya.
