“I Brought a Dawn Light Into the Media Industry” — Esther Arunga Tells Potential Employers

Esther Arunga was no doubt a beloved newscaster and one of the most highly regarded TV personaities at the peak of her career. But right at the crest of it, she gave it all up to join a church, get married and launch her political ambitions. It led to a series of court battles, one in which she even sued her parents.

A baby later, exit Hellon–the default leader of the wolfpack at the height of the madness–Esther is back in the news, claiming her life is in danger and moving abroad, and making claims that she is in the U.S. raising cash for her political run.

In between all the media attention and raising a family, she is also looking for a job documents show that she has been seeking work abroad and using more than just facts to ensure she secures one. Besides various awards she claims to have been given in the country and abroad, one even bestowed by the state, she claims to have “Brought a dawn light into the media industry.”

We know she worked at Capital FM and later KTN, but she doesn’t specify to which media houses she dawned her light on. But apparently, in one media house, she “Introduced new script editing and perfect journalism by giving airtime to the unexpected breaking news from within the unfortunate backyards.”

She also “Brought a dawn light into the media industry in Kenya by challenging the politicians to face public debates and present/defend their development records within their constituencies” according to her resume.

During her employment at HazRisk in Australia, she “Established cash flow planning for the first time and managed overall Company’s treasury activities with project and working capital financing facilities of approx AUD 125 million;” Whoa! She also “Overturned HazRisk’s International emergency recruitment drive which saw the company returns grow enormously. “

In her other unspecified employment in Australia, she “Introduced a mixture of Kenyan and Australian legal defence systems in New South Wales courts which saw lots of my clients win charges against them.”
