Media personality Janet Mbugua has officially parted ways with Nation Media Group, bringing her stint on the morning show Fixing the Nation to an end after slightly more than a year.
Her departure was revealed live on April 17 during her final appearance on the programme, where she had been co-hosting alongside Eric Latiff and Mariam Bishar. The moment marked the close of a chapter that saw her engage deeply with national conversations and public discourse.
Reflecting on her journey, Mbugua explained that joining the show aligned seamlessly with her passion for advocacy and civic engagement. She noted that the country was going through a particularly intense period at the time she came on board, and she had already been actively speaking out on key issues. Transitioning to a mainstream media platform, she said, gave her an opportunity to amplify those conversations and reach a broader audience.
Fixing the Nation airs on weekday mornings from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. across the media house’s platforms. The programme has built a reputation for tackling pressing national matters, with a strong focus on solutions-driven dialogue, expert analysis, and incorporating the voices of ordinary citizens.
Mbugua’s exit leaves viewers reflecting on her contribution to the show, especially her emphasis on accountability, social justice, and inclusive conversations. While she has not publicly disclosed her next move, her departure signals a likely shift back into advocacy, media, or other platforms where her voice continues to shape public debate.
