This is The Most Important Story Ever Covered By XYZ

First of all, hats off to the entire XYZ crew for bagging that award at the just concluded inaugural Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA). The team has always brought you every day political news packaged in humour. But have you ever wondered which story was the most important to them?

Well, recently The Next Women magazine had a sit-down with XYZ co-founder and CEO Marie Lora-Mungai where she revealed a few things about the show that the public knows not about, among them their most important story ever done and how it was portrayed.

“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.”
