Former Switch TV News Anchor joins KTN weeks after Quitting

Mwasiwa has officially joined the Mombasa Road based media house, months after partying ways with the Kenya Redcross owned station Switch TV.

On Thursday, Mwasiwa’s hubby Mbaruk Mwalimu who works as a radio presenter at Radio Maisha took to social media to welcome his Sweetheart to the Standard Media Group family.

“Time to SWITCH to @ktnnews Karibu sana @hadya_mwasiwa” wrote Mbaruk Mwalimu.

On the other hand, Mwasiwa posted; “@mwalimu_mbaruk @billymiya nikaribisheni kwenye mkao wa ubuyu “.

Ms Mwasiwa was poached from Switch TV as Fridah Mwaka’s replacement, months after she exited the station to join NTV alongside her Colleague Lofty Matambo.

In August, the news anchor bid goodbye to her viewers, thanking the Switch TV management for the opportunity to work with them.

“@switchtvke Thank you for trusting me to be on your screen, na kwa watazamaji wangu asanteni sana kwa kunithamini, Kuwa nanyi imekuwa fahari kwangu. Alhamdillah for the new opportunities, Growth is inevitable” wrote Hadiya Mwasiwa.
