In his first public interview in 18 months controversial journalist Kamahl Santamaria sits down with the Editor in Chief to tell his side of the story.

Santamaria was sensationally removed from TVNZ's 'Breakfast' show last year after only 32 days as host. The press release said it was due to a 'family emergency' but it since transpired that there were allegations of inappropriate behaviour toward female staff members. This wasn't the first time these sorts of allegations had been made against Santamaria.

What effect has this had on him and his family, will he ever work in the media again and what can and can't he say about what actually happened? 

DGEIC meets Kamahl Santamaria.
