Ghafla Exclusive: Top Radio Personality Quits One FM!

Ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first! Adelle Onyango, the popular One FM drive show host has called it a day at One FM!

The move has caught many off-guard with some alleging that she was fired but we can exclusively confirm that this is not the case. When we contacted her for a confirmation or denial on the same, she cleared up the air. That means that any news you see on social media sites are merely rumours. Here is how she broke the news on Facebook:

“ADELLE ONYANGO has left MEDIASTREAM where she was working from September 2010 until the end of JANUARY 2013. Her departure has been amicable as she has been a founding member of 1FM where she was both HR MANAGER and a RADIO PRESENTER.

ADELLE has stated that her departure is to allow her to explore different opportunities in the continental media industry as well as focus her attention on her projects that include the NO MEANS NO rape awareness campaign and continuing the work of her late mother MARY ONYANGO in the breast cancer awareness field.

ADELLE has been instrumental in the growth of the African music industry in Kenya and will continue building Kenyan music in the same capacities as she was doing so previously. Her departure from 1FM should not be viewed as her abandoning Kenyan music and the support and passion she has for it. This is not the end but the beginning.”

She was the host of their popular drive show segment that ran from 3pm to 7pm where she had interactive shows with segments such as “HIT or MISS” where fans got to decide which songs would be trashed and which songs would be kept on the One FM track list.

She is also a poet and advocate for women’s rights who would use her personal and traumatizing rape ordeal to this end. We wish her success in whatever endeavours she pursues next.
