Celebrated Kenyan journalist and media personality Lynn Ngugi has announced her exit from digital news platform Tuko.

In a statement on Wednesday, Lynn Ngugi who served as the Producer and Host for Tuko Talks, bid her fans goodbye, noting that her time at the news platform was coming to an end.

“Yes I am leaving Tuko but I promise you this is not goodbye, talk soon… And no, this is not a joke. I would never do that to you. However, the information is partly out there and I wanted you to hear it from me first. Love you all and thank you,” she posted.


Lynn has not revealed her next move yet. 

During her time at Tuko, Ngugi hosted several guests and had inspiring conversations that made her a darling to many Kenyan fans and other viewers outside the country.

Her exit is a blow to Tuko as she had built a loyal fan base and was conversant with their needs, in terms of the conversations and guests to bring on her show.

Recognising her dedication and commitment to impact lives in the community, Lynn Ngugi was recently awarded the I Change Nations Community Ambassador Award.

“Thank you Dr Ruben West and your wonderful team for this award… Dedicating this to all of you that secretly pray for me. The last couple of months have been challenging but this was just an affirmation that the best is yet to come and I should keep going,” she said after receiving the award.
