Infuriated media personality Koome Gitobu, who recently exposed former capital FM presenter Mandii Sarro for her bullish attitude is unsatisfied with her apology.
Through Twitter, Mr. Gitobu blasted Mandi for not mentioning his name in the apology, proof that she did it for public relations.
“Accountability but you can’t say my name” He lamented.
In yet another tweet, the sensational Koome sarcastically summarized Mandi’s apology as

Push came to shove earlier this week when the former Hits Not Homework presenter tweeted that people should be accountable for their deeds. In a reply, Koome Gitobu, a former intern where Miss Mandi worked, rubbished the tweet insisting that she was a hypocrite who made her life at Capital Fm miserable.
Her Twitter account has been dormant for the better part of this week with the reply button in tweets generated by her remaining muted.
A section of Kenyans on Twitter utilized that opportunity to expose other toxic female media personalities that were hiding behind brands. Among those mentioned are NTV’s Amina Abdi, former Hot 96 Mid-Morning presenter Anita Ray, and ex-capital Fm’S Anita Nderu.
Amina apologized on the Trend show yesterday over her behavior insisting that at times, she was mean and didn’t give people the kind of reception they had expected.

Television star Betty Kyallo on Thursday trooped to social media to show a photo of her while in Primary school.
Betty was in the company of five unidentified girls at Uhuru gardens in what was likely to be a funky.
Her looks are still intact, even after proceeding to high school and later joining Daystar University, Betty’s face is the same, save for slight changes in her body size.
The former K24 news anchor captioned: “Don’t worry this is your story too. Enjoy every season of your life. Better days are coming.
Betty Kyalo is undoubtedly a darling to many despite her staying away from the screens after an alleged bitter fallout with her managers at K24 a few months ago.
She is said to have ended her contract of hosting the weekend with Betty program at DSM place after what she described as a lack of appreciation and support from her bosses.
Betty ventured into a personal business where she offers salon and barber services within Nairobi’s Kilimani area.
