Another station that has also lost its presenters is Pwani Fm, the presenters are Maitha Masha, Josephine Medza and Gasper Tumaini.

According to a source at Kaya Fm, the management has been forced to respond after the station's associates started raising concern.

"Our associates have also been asking if indeed the reports are true. We have even been forced to run special adverts to let our listeners know that we are still independent" said the source

Adding " Some of those former presenters have also been making things worse by going round stating that the station has also been bought out"
