It is no doubt that Citizen TV, owned by Royal Media Services, is the home of Kenya’s best journalists.
While these journalists dedicate themselves to informing, educating, and entertaining you, they have a separate life as family people.
Apart from Lulu Hassan and Rashid Abdallah, husband and wife, I am sure that you do not know the spouses of your favorite presenters because they like keeping a low profile.
Mkenya Leo did some digging, and here are the spouses of Citizen TV presenters you did not know about.
Ivy Waitherero
Ivy Waitherero is the wife of Sam Gituku, who hosts the Day Break Show from Monday to Wednesday. Gituku is also a senior reporter.
Ivy also works at Royal Media Services as a news director. Ivy and Gituku walked down the aisle on 25th May 2019 at Deliverance Church in Karen.
Jacinta Mueni
Jacinta Mueni has been married to Linus Kaikai since 2012. Linus is the Director of Strategy and Innovation at Citizen TV.
He is also the Chairperson of the Kenya Editors Guild. Jacinta holds a managerial position at Ogilvy Africa, an American advertising agency. Jacinta and Linus have three children, two boys, and a girl.
