K24 Has Also Poached A Prominent NTV Anchor
It seems K24 are on a buying spree, first poaching loads of talent from the newsroom of Citizen TV, and now we are learning that they have also poached Rashid Ronald from the NTV newsdesk.
Rashid Ronald is renowned for being one of the only news anchors who can ably do both Kiswahili and English news in equal measure. He was first at NTV, until he was courted by BBC Africa, where he moved for some time, before coming back home like the prodigal son to NTV .
Why these media wars persist is a mystery to me, but it seems K24 are going ballistic on the HR side. Uhuru Kenyatta, the owner of the station, is also currently a leading presidential candidate in the 2013 Kenya elections, where he is also reported to be spending large sums of money getting artists to sing for his party.
