There was a dramatic moment on JKL Live during its Wednesday night broadcast on Citizen TV. The program, hosted by Jeff Koinange, featured a panel of prominent figures discussing current issues.
The panel included Cleophas Malala, Dennis Itumbi, Michael Pundo, and Ian Mbugua. As the discussion progressed, tensions began to rise, especially when Malala accused the media house of bias.
He argued that the station was selectively reading viewers’ comments and ignoring those that supported his views. Malala also claimed that the panel had been deliberately made up of individuals who were sympathetic to the government, making it difficult for him to express his opinions freely. His remarks added pressure to an already heated debate.
Before he could finish speaking, Ian Mbugua appeared visibly frustrated. He interrupted the conversation and asked for the microphone to be taken away, signaling that he was no longer willing to continue with the discussion.
In a brief but striking moment, he said, “Please take the mic, take the mic, good night,” before standing up and walking off the set. His sudden exit surprised both the host and the remaining panelists.
The unexpected walkout brought the show to a tense and dramatic end, leaving viewers with mixed reactions about what had just unfolded live on air.
