Allegations of impropriety touching on two junior Citizen Radio editors have been making rounds in Jackal News inbox for weeks. We have decided to publish these allegations with the hope that the powers that be will investigate and act.
A number of sources say Radio News editor Young Muthomi and senior presenter Christin Ojiambo have been mistreating junior staff in what seems total lack of leadership.
Beyond these claims of discrimination, sources say the two often peddle rumours about junior staff with the hope that they don’t rise and ”shine in their work”.
It appears that the top editor, Farida Karoney, is unaware.
Below is one letter from a staffer:
”Despite working so hard, the two have continued to discriminate us and spreading rumours among some of us who tend to outshine them.
Whenever you send a story they think that you have been paid, they don’t air. Instead, you will hear Ojiambo reading some shady story.
”Because of these rumours, some of us are paid less compared to others who are close to the two. This applies also to weekly allowances that are also offered on who you know best… we know that the two have been extorting money from various politicians before their stories are carried. Some of them have even complained to us asking if that is the requirement… when Young visits our regions (supposedly local language news departments) pretending to supervise, he even pockets our allowances!”
