"On this 6th day of January 2025, my heart is heavy as I bid "kwaheri to the brilliant team of colleagues at Spice FM and the Standard Group. I am grateful for the opportunity to be once again a part of Kenya’s oldest private media house and I am proud of the teams that I leave behind in radio, TV, and print.

I was privileged to be there at the launch of Kenya’s first 24-hour religious media house - Family FM and Family TV, the first 24hrs vernacular radio station - Kameme FM, and the first 24-hour news and information TV station - K24. Is there room for something new? Of course, always, and I sure hope to be a part of it soon. Wish me luck, I will keep you posted," he said in part.
