At Nation Media Group, I have grown into the fine journalist I am today. Tonight, Saturday 31st December 2022, I take a break from the newsroom, and embark on a new journey. The photo attached is from 2019 when NTV put a full page in honor of my bold reporting. NTV remains home,” he wrote
Political job
The Nation Media Group journalist Kennedy Murithi Budi exited the station after landing a top post in the Tharaka Nithi County Government.
A few weeks ago, Governor Muthomi Njuki appointed the senior political reporter from NTV to the position of political advisor as he serves his second term.
“I have worked with Governor Njuki closely since 2013. I am happy that he has considered me as one of his advisors,” Mr Murithi said on hearing news of his appointment.
The county boss has also nominated former Tharaka Nithi County Assembly Speaker David John Mbaya as the county attorney and named Mr Gideon Gitonga Thuranira as his economic advisor.
Mr Njuki has also nominated 16 chief officers and forwarded the names to the County Assembly for consideration and approval, among them Mr Wilberforce Muriungi who was his economic advisor but who is now in charge of Youth and Sports.
