Kamene Goro, a former presenter at Kiss FM, has resorted to advertising small businesses at a low rate on her Instagram account after being sacked from the station in January for gross misconduct. The media personality, who used to earn over Ksh 500,000 per month, appealed to small businesses who may be interested in her services to reach out to her.

The incident highlights the financial struggles faced by media personalities who lose their jobs abruptly, with many having to find alternative means of income. Goro’s case is not unique, as many individuals in the media industry have been laid off or had their salaries cut due to the impact of COVID-19. In response, some have turned to freelance work or social media advertising to earn a living.
