On July 13th, the Kiss FM presenter had made an insensitive joke on Mental Health joking about “Mental Health na hamna akili”.
The post which has since been deleted angered a section of KOT who went ham on Ms Goro, with lectures that mental Health is a serious topic that doesn’t require such banter.
One of them is the legendary Catherine Kasavuli who insinuated that she has personally been faced with a mental health situation and she cried upon seeing Kamene’s post.
“Yesterday I literally cried when I saw someone joking about #mentalhealth .These aren’t things to joke about, until it hits home , it hits so different, ask me .
Let’s use our platforms regardless of size to raise positive awareness. Lest I get quoted badly, regardless of the Size of your social platform, if you can’t spread positive awareness at least don’t use it to make fun of #mentalhealth ,” wrote Kasavili in a tweet.
Kasavuli has easily become a KOT favorite after announcement of her TV comeback.
After retiring from TV a few years ago, she founded Kasavuli Media Group Limited which is a parent company of 5 other subsidiary companies. Among them is a finishing school for broad casters that fine tunes anchors and an arm that takes care of etiquette.
Kasavuli will be hosting a new show dubbed ‘Legend Edition’ every Saturday on KBC Channel 1.
However, Kamene is yet to say anything about the utterances so it’s all crickets for now on her side.
