Why do we congratulate our fellow countrymen and women when they move to international broadcasters such as BBC?
Why was everyone happy for Madowo joining CNN or Mwaura here joining BBC from Royal Media?
Because we take professional businesses in Kenya and bastardize it with tribal and partisan leadership which licks the bottoms of the one who butters the bread.
That’s why real journalists have been replaced by comedians and socialites on radio and TV.
I see young people studying journalism and mass Comms in Kenya and I pray they’re doing it as a skill set but not for employment. Here, a boy like Mboya 18K or Eve Mungai will outdo you because mainstream media houses like Citizen TV do not care about the future of the industry, theirs is pure looking at their P&L sheet and knowing which politicians to pander to.
Still, congratulations for this fellow for moving to an environment he may thrive at as a journalist and presenter.
Aibu kwetu.
