Former Busted radio show host Ciku Muiruri has revealed for the first time why she was fired from Classic FM.
Ciku agrees that on her popular show, busted, she exposed ‘a big man’, who influenced the media house to sack her.
“I was fired from a certain media house back in the day for allowing pictures of a owner/director’s girlfriend to be published in my role as editor. First came an advisory (from the Chairman of the group, no less!!!) against publishing stories about “loved ones” of board members (clande or otherwise). I ‘Galava-d’ and went ahead and run yet another set of pictures. It was such a juicy story, I couldn’t resist… They showed me the door, albeit with full severance pay because you can’t fire someone for publishing relevant pictures to the job I was contracted to do. You’ve never seen me complaining about it though… Ha ha. And you never will. It was their media house, their policies, their pu**y I was interfering with. It’s the same thing with Denis Galava. He could not resist publishing what he felt was right, the hell with the consequences.
In my next job, superiors jokingly asked if I was going to expose directors there too. We laughed but I know they were really saying… “Hey, don’t try that shit here!”
I guess that’s what inspired me to create ‘Busted.’ It gave me the freedom to expose big wigs without naming them

But still, despite no one expressly telling me not to, I never Busted a director/board member/boss again…
Free advice? Either quietly sue them for wrongful dismissal (If you feel you have grounds, I personally believe you have none). Or, laugh it off, move on and resist the need to constantly play this out on social media. You are tweeting about it to what end? #KOT won’t help you pay your bills. Plus, you scare away potential employers who have no interest in hiring a renegade. You don’t shit where you eat. Your final option is to start your own media house where, for sure, you will one day also fire someone for going against your policies or worse, interfering with your pu**y. It will happen. Life has an awesome sense of humour,”wrote ciku on her Facebook page
She advises Dennis to move on and seek new opportunities.
