Wednesday, March 13, 2013 - The next woman magazine recently held an interview with XYZ founder and C.E.O. Marie Lora- Mungai. XYZ show has now turned out to be the most watched show in Kenya as it brings to Kenyans political satire packaged with humor.
This was immediately after XYZ show won the Best Comedy Show at the prestigious Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards.
For the first time ever, Mungai opened up on one of the most important story that they have covered in the show which is now featured on NTV, below is what she had to say:
“For me the biggest story has been the aftermath and various ramifications of Kenya’s 2007-2008 post-election crisis, which was also very much what pushed my co-founder (the cartoonist Gado) and I to launch the show and start Buni Media in 2009,” revealed Marie.
How was it portrayed? Her answer; “We’ve talked and continue to talk about this story in many different ways, but the one that sticks out is when we showed Kenya’s president and prime minister in jail over their role in organizing the violence during our very first season. At the time we did not yet know how far we could go, so we were all quite febrile when we put that episode out. As it turned out, nothing happened.”
