To bolster its staff during the electoral season, Nation Media Group has hired Duncan Khaemba, another seasoned KTN journalist.
On Monday, July 25, a Standard Group insider informed Kenyans.co.ke that Khaemba had previously given notice prior to publicly resigning as a political correspondent from the station’s Mombasa Road location.
The source also hinted that the seasoned journalist would be leaving on Tuesday, July 26, and that he had been observed traveling up and down as part of the clearance procedure.
The reporter earned a Bachelor’s degree in communications, sociology, and political science from the University of Nairobi (UoN).
Additionally, he has a degree in broadcast journalism from Radio Netherlands Training Center and a diploma in journalism and public relations from the Technical University of Kenya.
The 2011 coverage of the military on the front lines in Somalia and the 2012 coverage of the first democratic presidential election in Somalia since the overthrow of President Siad Barre in 1991 are just a few of the significant assignments that helped shape Khaemba’s career.
Before joining KTN in 2016, Khaemba had spent more than 15 years working in the media, gaining experience at Citizen TV and Media Max’s K24.

According to station sources, top management at the publicly traded corporation was under pressure to stop the continuing loss of talent.
They observed that the majority of workstations at the station were either barely operating in terms of capacity or had been totally destroyed by the rivalry.
The business eliminated the investigative desk that had previously given KTN the advantage as a reliable outlet. In an unprecedented move, Siraj Abdulraham reportedly left the media business, Franklin Wallah transferred to K24, and Brian Obuya joined NTV.
When Brian George Otieno and Brenda Kerubo announced their departures, the business desk was also unavoidably damaged.
Patrick Amimo, Murimi Mwangi, Chris Thairu, and Jeff Kirui are still employed with KTN’s political desk. Ben Kitili, the station’s previous senior political editor, left the organization in July 2021 and joined Nation.
