With five more months to go, the year 2018 has gone into the books as one that experienced the most movement from all Kenyan media house employees.<\/p>\n

Presenters and anchors have been leaving stations left right and center as they go for greener pastures and other reasons.\u00a0K24 news Anchor Ian Wafula is the latest news anchor to ditch his media house.<\/p>\n

BBC<\/h3>\n

It’s not clear where he’s headed but word has it that he got a lucrative deal from BBC.On Instagram he posted the message alerting his followers that his time at the station was done.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cLast day\u00a0@k24tv<\/a>. It has been a great 3 years hosting Alfajiri, The Daily Brief and covering 2017 Elections. Great team turned family. Looking forward to my next move. Soon.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0shared Ian Wafula.<\/p>\n

In December 2015, Wafula parted ways with KTN where he had started as an intern and joined K24 to host\u00a0Alfajiri\u00a0<\/em>alongside Amina Abdi.<\/p>\n

Abdi later moved to NTV to replace Larry Madowo on the Trend. Wafula’s announcement comes just days after fellow news anchor Maya Hayakwa left the station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
