According to ARISE News, political analyst Anthony Kila has been immediately and indefinitely excluded from their television network due to allegations of falsifying his academic credentials. The decision comes after an investigative report by Premium Times, which led to ARISE News contacting Kila on October 3, 2026, to allow him to respond to the accusations. Despite Kila requesting additional time to address the claims, he has not provided an explanation 10 days after the initial contact.
The news channel emphasized that they were unaware of the allegations when Kila appeared as a freelance political analyst on their programs and stated that they take issues of credibility and integrity seriously. ARISE News highlighted that they had taken note of the findings published by Premium Times. As a result of the intensifying allegations, the Editorial Board deemed Kila's contributions to the ARISE News Channel no longer tenable, and the decision took immediate effect.
Kila will not be appearing on their networks at any time now or in the future, with the statement adding, "effective immediately."
