I am sadly left with no option but to terminate my contract as well,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text\" data-para-word-count=\"3\">UPLIFTING THE YOUTH<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text\" data-para-word-count=\"19\">&#8220;The Chipukeezy Show will, however, continue with Kartelo and many more on a different platform,&#8221; he assured his fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text\" data-para-word-count=\"18\">Apparently, the TV station&#8217;s management wants more politicians and a few corporate executives on the show as guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text\" data-para-word-count=\"13\">However, Chipukeezy says his passion is to uplift the youth in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text\" data-para-word-count=\"28\">&#8220;I feel like God has offered me an opportunity to create a platform for these young people who are mostly from the slums and majorly disadvantaged,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text\" data-para-word-count=\"30\">The comedian further maintained that the politicians and executives are good people, but they are already living their dreams, which is why he prefers hosting the youth on his show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text\" data-para-word-count=\"35\">&#8220;Our executives are actually living their dreams. On the other hand, I feel like most talented youths are without hope and opportunity and unless someone holds their hands their future is mostly uncertain,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><!--\/.story-footer-link--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedian Mwasia Mutua, popularly known as Chipukeezy, has quit Ebru TV after declining to meet certain demands from the media house.
