Journalist Anne Kiguta has resigned from Mediamax owned K24.
In a statement on Sunday, December 6, Kiguta said the station's editorial policy was one of the major issues that made her leave the station after two years.
Ms. Kiguta's statement read: "It is with regret that today I announce that I will not be returning to the program. Owing to a fundamental disagreement on the editorial processes and direction the show was being forced to take, I suspended my services as an independent contractor to the show on 21st November 2020."
She continued: "My decision was guided by the Code of Conduct contained in tie Media Council of Kenya Act which guides all journalists practising in the republic of Kenya. As a result. I can no lager in good conscience continue to be a part of Punchline.”
