The Jeff Koinange Live show which has been airing on KTN every Wednesday and Thursday has come to an end.
The show ended a week after a controversial episode in which aspiring Nairobi Governors Miguna Miguna and Esther Passaris tore into each other at a personal level.
During the show, Miguna Miguna made comments towards Passaris which were viewed as encouraging the rape culture.
Koinange was told off by many Kenyans who accused him of failing to control Miguna and instead laugh off his jabs towards Passaris.
In the last episode of the show on Thursday night, though, Koinange nonetheless stated that the show would be moving to a new station. Below is his remarks:
About a week ago, we had a programme that deteriorated into something ugly where two guests went at each other, really out of control and there are some people out there who probably thought I should have done a better job in controlling the guests and I agree looking back… but in live television, it’s always difficult,” he said. “But I agree, I’m man enough to man up to that, and if there is anyone who was aggrieved by that show, anyone who felt it wasn’t up to par, I didn’t do a good job, I apologize so that we can move on. It was regrettable in most parts but again, it was one show out of 300 that we’ve done here at KTN the last three years.”
“And having said that, this will be the final Jeff Koinange Live right on KTN… we’ll take a break, but rest assured JKL will be back in another station in the coming weeks. Stay tunes for that, we’ll keep you posted on social media and on our networks. JKL is not going anywhere, it’s just changing homes.
