Melanie Kaita is quitting Sanyu FM today. Fat Boy's co-presenter who has been with the station for four years is being asked by fans to stay for they cannot stand the show without her. the fans have gone ahead and opened a facebook page on which they are begging her not to go.
One of them wrote: ''I've been in Uganda for 5 years now, and I'd like to thank Mel and Fat Boy for keeping me sane. When I have a near miss on a boda boda, when a matatu runs out of petrol, when I find myself wearing flip flops in the rain, when water and power goes out at the same time, when a policeman tries to arrest me for smoking a cigarette on the golf course, at least I know that in the morning I'll wake up to the funny, clever, affectionate squabbles of Mel and Fat Boy.
You play your parts so well, and are light years ahead of the rest. And like any great team, they bring out the best in each other. Please Stay Mel for my sake"
Mel herself concluded "I totally appreciate all the support y'all have shown me and humbled more than you will ever know!! Will miss Radio bugging y'all grating at your nervous and making a few of you smile. Thanks for rooting for me even as I move on. Mob love. Shalom Melanie Kaita."
