DAILY POST: The blunder during UHURU’s interview in Mombasa costs several journalists their job-See those who have been suspended as a result of the blunder 08:58

Tuesday January 15, 2019-A technical problem during President Uhuru Kenyatta's round-table interview at State House in Mombasa has cost several journalists their jobs.

Kenya broadcaster, KBC has suspended the entire crew in charge of production, preview and transmission from both in Mombasa and Nairobi stations as a result of the costly blunder. Among those reportedly interdicted were Francis Ngila, who was Transmission Control (TC) of the day, Zipporah Simani, who was heading TC in Nairobi, and Senior News Producer at KBC Zipporah Muthui. Others include Jackline Wasolo, the producer on duty at KBC's Broadcasting House Nairobi, Edwin Rasto, who was heading Transmission and Sound Operations of the day and KBC crew members Julius Mutuku, Njeru Nyaga, Mwambinya and Benjamin Mutei. According to sources, there was lack of lip sync for KBC's stream during the live service - the matching of a speaking person's lip movements with the spoken vocals that listeners hear.
