Did Esther Arunga Lie About Her Achievements To Get Work Abroad???

According to documents, it seems the former TV anchor has been working really hard to sell herself abroad as a Kenyan media big-wig. She has been presenting herself as a Presidential Shield Winner in 1998 among other major achievements abroad incuding excellence customer service officer at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games in Australia.

We will concentrate on the Kenyan achievements, though. In 2010, apparently, she was awarded Media Personality of the Year at the Kenya Media Awards. For those who remember, this is the same year she quit KTN as a newscaster and hit headlines by joining a church where she was “given” a God-appointed husband to marry.

2010 seems to have been a big year for her. Not only was she awarded Media Personality of the Year, but also Food Nutrionist/Dietician of the Month (month not indicated) by a body named Victoria Dietics. Her awards streak was not limited locally. In the same year, she was named Lawyer/Solicitor of the Year by Hazrisk Managment in Australia according to the letters she’s been sending to potential employers.

And the awards didn’t end there. In 2011, she was named Personality of the Year in Kenya. Name of award nor body has been indicated. Some awards are not dated but apparently came after 2010, including getting a TV Journalist of the Decade Award from the Kenya Media Awards.

Ghafla! is yet to establish if such an awards body as Kenya Media awards exists.
