Man Nyari, a popular Kikuyu-speaking media personality, has been given a second chance by Mediamax management after a massive backlash from his fans.
On October 30, 160 Mediamax employees, including Man Nyari, received termination letters, but the presenter's sudden departure from Kameme FM and TV on November 2 sparked widespread discontent among his audience.
Viewers took to social media to express their disappointment and demand that Man Nyari be rehired, with some fans even threatening to stop listening to the program if he was not reinstated.
"If you don't recall Man Nyari we shall no longer listen to this program," Moses Mutha warned, while Jose Mbugua commented, "This is not what we are used to from Man Nyari. Am so disappointed, Man Nyari all the way."
Monica Ngigi stated, "I love Kameme but I'm really disappointed in you, trust me this will be a big blow to Kameme!!"
However, Man Nyari's fans' cries did not fall on deaf ears, as he announced on November 6 that he would be returning to Kameme FM and TV on November 9.
"When God speaks, all the other things are irrelevant. The Lord heard your prayers. Some of you people have fasted for this program and I thank you so much and that is why on Saturday I will be back on Kameme FM and TV," he said.
Man Nyari also thanked the Mediamax management for reconsidering his sack, stating, "May God bless you so much for listening to my audience."
