Kenya’s best TV station, Citizen TV has made new changes after departure of Journalist Waihiga Mwaura who exited the station, revealed to join BBC News Centre.
“We understand that news is no longer just news, there has to be a meaning behind news and we are responding to the needs that are arising and the challenge that is being placed on us by our audiences,” said Mr Kaikai.
Sam Gituku has assumed a new role as well in the station.
Praising Okwara as “a strong accountability-driven journalist with a strong record in public interest reporting”, Kaikai said her show will help audiences understand the news better
Mr Kaikai Added : “We will be introducing Sam Gituku. He brings the unique strength of data journalism, just understanding those numbers and breaking them down. When Kenyans are being told 3% of their salaries goes to Housing, what exactly does that mean? Sam will be walking through those numbers explaining those numbers, breaking them down in a way that our audiences will consume better.”
