Veteran media personality Janet Mbugua has officially stepped down from Nation Media Group, ending her run on the popular morning programme Fixing the Nation after just over a year on the show.

Mbugua made the announcement during her final segment on April 17, 2026, where she had been co-hosting alongside Eric Latiff and Mariam Bishar.

Reflecting on her decision to join the show, Mbugua said the opportunity felt like a natural extension of her public advocacy work. The role, she explained, came at a time when she had already been deeply engaged in national conversations and saw the platform as a way to amplify that voice on a mainstream stage.

During her time on the programme, Mbugua brought her trademark passion for civic engagement and social issues to the morning show, staying true to the active citizen identity she has cultivated throughout her career.

While the full details surrounding her departure have not been disclosed, her exit marks the end of a chapter that saw one of Kenya’s most recognizable media figures return to the screen in a bold and purpose-driven way.

Fans and colleagues have begun reacting to the news, with many taking to social media to celebrate her contribution to the show and wish her well in her next chapter.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
