Fred Machoka removes niece Gloria Orwoba from anniversary gala

Veteran radio broadcaster Fred Machoka interrupted his 50th-anniversary celebration, the Machoka@50 gala, to reprimand and remove his niece, former nominated senator Gloria Orwoba, from the stage.

During the event at the Ulinzi Sports Complex, Orwoba used a “one-term” hand signal, a slogan used by critics of President William Ruto. Machoka, who was celebrating five decades in broadcasting, ordered security to eject her, stating, “You cannot screw up my job. Please, security, remove this girl from this stage.”

Orwoba, who was previously expelled from the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA), has been an opponent of the Ruto administration. The gala featured various regional musicians and prominent political figures.
