Francis Munyao, well-known as MCA Tricky, has officially left Milele FM , marking six years of service that came to an unexpected end this week after a falling-out with management.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

His exit comes through an official statement released by him on July 22, as seen by  Kenyans.co.ke , stemming from his request for a short, unpaid study leave to pursue his academic goals, a request the station could not agree to.

“ Today, I officially close one of the most important chapters of my life. After six unforgettable years, I have officially left Mediamax Network Ltd's Miele FM , where I proudly served from June 2020 to June 2026,” MCA Tricky stated.

The radio personality had been with Mediamax Network's Milele FM since June 2020, growing into one of the station's most recognisable voices.

Apart from studies, he explained that the two parties simply failed to reach a mutual agreement over his study leave request, leading to their eventual parting of ways.

“My departure comes after we were unable to reach a mutual agreement regarding my request for a short unpaid study leave as I continue pursuing my academic goals,” MCA Tricky stated.

Before radio, MCA Tricky built his fame through the "street boy" character he popularised on the  Churchill Show . His streetwise humour, relatable storytelling, and energetic delivery convinced broadcasters he could translate his comedic appeal into an engaging, interactive morning radio format.

His radio journey began in October 2018 at Standard Group's  Radio Maisha , where he co-hosted the  Maisha Asubuhi  breakfast show with Billy Miya.

His distinctive comedic style and delivery quickly resonated with the station's morning audience.

In June 2020, he joined Mediamax's Milele FM, stepping into the Milele Breakfast show and replacing fellow comedian Jalang'o. Alongside co-hosts Alex Mwakideu and Chris The Bass, he helped anchor one of the station's top-rated morning programmes.
