Anne Kiguta Quits K24
Anne Kiguta has called it quits with K24, citing a “fundamental disagreement on the editorial processes and direction the show was being forced to take”. In a statement shared on her official social media handles, the former “Punchline” host confirmed to have “suspended my services as an independent contractor to the show on 21st November 2020”. “My decision was guided by the Code of Conduct contained in the Media Council of Kenya Act which guides all journalists practising in the republic of Kenya. As a result. I can no longer in good conscience continue to be a part of Punchline,” she said. Kiguta, who has been at the helm of the political prime time show since July 2019, also thanked fans for their continued support.
Netizens expressed mixed reactions following the surprise announcement. Check out some of the reactions below.

Thank you my friend @AnneKiguta for standing up for yourself. It feels good to give those who think they have power over your mind the middle finger!

Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for their upcoming film, “Wonder Woman 1984”. Fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman’s next big screen adventure finds her facing two all-new foes: Max Lord and The Cheetah. With director Patty Jenkins back at the helm and Gal Gadot returning in the title role, “Wonder Woman 1984” is Warner Bros. Pictures’ follow up to the DC Super Hero’s first outing, 2017’s record-breaking “Wonder Woman,” which took in $822 million at the worldwide box office.
The film also stars Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Kristen Wiig as The Cheetah, Pedro Pascal as Max Lord, Robin Wright as Antiope, and Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta.
“Wonder Woman 1984” opens in theaters and on HBO Max this Christmas. Check out the new trailer below!

Huge news: Wonder Woman 1984 is fantastic! The story is excellent & has a great, timely message; it packs in a ton of surprises; and amazing work is done with both Cheetah & Max Lord (Wiig & Pascal are both stellar). Get hyped, because it’s the real deal. #WonderWoman1984 #WW1984 pic.twitter.com/9UQLyxn3gx

Pedro Pascal and Kristen Wiig are the highlights of #WonderWoman1984 for me.
Pascal goes ALL IN on a wild portrayal of Max Lord, a conflicted but vile villain.
Wiig’s Cheetah evolution throughout the movie is heartbreaking yet epic. We need more! #WW84 pic.twitter.com/hBIUDkXCFN
