Despite rumours that 6 Nation Media group employees have been sacked in connection to the sex scandal open letter to the CEO posted on the Internet, yet another letter has now surfaced and this one was posted yesterday afternoon right in this blog's message area for reader's comments.

The letter writer clearly displays intimate knowledge of internal meetings and the goings on during meetings at the Nation Media group in response to the posting of the first letter on the web, which only a staff member who was present would have been aware of.

At one point they mention the editorial director breaking down in a meeting while explaining how his wife confronted him with the allegations of the sex scandal published in the Weekly Citizen that reproduced the letter published on the web. The letter says in part;

…"During the February 1 meeting, the entire floor burst into laughter when Mr Mwangi broke down when he was narrating how his wife had confronted him with a Citizen newspaper which carried a story on his sex life. Nobody sympathized with him because everybody on 3rd floor knows the truth.

The letter also reveals that Mr Wangethi Mwangi and other members of NMG's top management visited the Aga Khan in Paris as recently as between February 5th and 7th this year where to the chagrin of the letter writer or letter writers, no mention was made of the anonymous letter published on the web.

The letter goes on to emphasize that the end of February deadline given to both Wangethi Mwangi and Joseph Odindo to resign stands and that full exposure with all the details on the alleged sexual escapades of the senior management will be published on the web for the whole world to see come March 1st.

In part the letters says;

…"Our research and analysis team has completed its investigation and they have pieced together a detailed, accurate and comprehensive dossier on the sex scandals at NMG. The dossier will be made available in the Internet, the streets of Nairobi and other major towns, to the wives and children of the sex pests, the diplomatic community, religious organizations and all NMG staff."

The anonymous letter goes on to detail some of the salaries being earned by senior editors and management at NMG. Many are said to earn a whooping Kshs 400,000 monthly while others earn Kshs 500,000 to a million.

The contentious issue of university graduates reporting non-graduate bosses, is brought up again in the latest letter with what is clearly a lot of pain. The letter writer says;

…"It was also shocking to hear you and the other managers making a mockery about our degrees. Where else do we have Form Six editors in the newsroom apart from NMG? How can correspondents and reporters who are university graduates, some with first degrees and others with Masters degrees, continue reporting to Form Six drop outs? It’s the policy of NMG that reporters and correspondents should have a minimum qualification of a university degree. Why is the rule an exception to some of the editors? Mr Gitahi, you have no option but to respect our academic qualifications. Form Six and Form Four editors must leave our newsroom if you want peace."

The latest letter clearly shows that the issues within the Nation Media group editorial department are far from being resolved despite meetings to address it. And if it is true that 6 persons have been fired in connection to the letter, then this has done little to stop the dangerous hemorrhaging of sensitive information from the largest and most respected media house in East and Central Africa. And what is more this new letter on the alleged sex scandal at Nation names more names of those involved and gives a brief snippet of the exact information the writers of the letter have on the incidences alleged to have taken place.
