The announcement by Jeff comes as the media industry faces changes that are seeing businesses reduce their staffers in a bid to stay afloat.

Top media houses including Standard Group, Nation Media Group, Radio Africa and Capital FM announced mass firings.

Radio Africa in its memo said it had been forced to make the decision to ensure business continuity.

"As management, we have been faced with a situation that requires a critical business decision to be made to ensure business continuity. We will therefore be reorganizing our internal business operations and in the process, we may declare numerous positions redundant based on the new structure," the internal memo read in part.
