Madowo complained about the country's entertainment industry for lacking originality with participant copying successful ideas.
“ In the success of the show, people have copied what we have done here because Kenyan TV idea of innovation is monkey see monkey do,” he noted.

Secondly, the news anchor disclosed that his schedule was interfering with his ability to give the show the attention it deserved.
“For those who watch the show, you may have noticed that I have been away a lot and thus I have not been able to give the show 100 percent so I thought it wise to step away and give somebody else that chance,” affirmed Madowo.
