Veteran journalist Janet Mbugua has announced her return to the NTV with a new show two months after quitting NTV’s Fixing the Nation show.
In a video shared on her social media accounts, the media personality announced that she is returning to NTV, where she will host a new weekly show focused on healthcare.
According to Mbugua, the show will be aired every Sunday at 6 pm.
The journalist revealed that her decision to return with a health programme was driven by her passion for the subject, having previously championed mental health awareness and menstrual health advocacy.

“I am starting a new show this Sunday on NTV at 6 pm. I transitioned, stepped back to come back and do something I can sustain, something along the line that I am really passionate about, which is health,” Mbugua said.
“We have a healthcare crisis in many parts of the world, not just Kenya. Whether it’s health justice, dignity or policy, the diseases that are visible and those that are not,” she added.
“How can you have a citizen who can show up and be the best version of themselves if healthcare is compromised? If almost every one of us is one incident away from needing emergency services which we cannot afford,” the media personality further said.
She further said that the realities inspired her decision to return to develop the programme that will have dedicated conversations around healthcare policy and access to medical services, noting that she is looking forward to connecting with viewers and fans.
