Media personality Kamene Goro has detailed why she will never be friends with comedian Mulamwah.
In an interview with Obinna, Kamene accused the comedian of being bully who hides behind comedy when doing it.
“Mulamwah is a bully, and he thinks just because he’s a comedian, it's okay for him to be a bully. I didn’t know him from here, to Timbuktu and back. I posted a picture, he went and wrote something extremely hateful, and I was like boss, ata sikujui, nimekukosea wapi? (I don't even know you, how have I offended you?)” Kamene told Obinna.
Ms Goro went on to explain that she met Mulamwah at Ongea Summit and he tried to brush off his hateful comment but she turned him down.
Asked if she is ready to forgive the funnyman, Kamene said; “I don’t want the apology, the year is 2022 tushamove, he’s not a nice person,”.

“Kamene kama ananitaka, aniambie tu (If Kamene wants me, she should just say it),” reads a post from Mulamwah.
