Those who have been very Instrumental

“On this day 7 years ago I made my 1PM news anchoring debut. It’s interesting because when I was 7 years old that’s the first time I told my mum “ mum one day I will be on TV” I was the news anchor who had tried several times and been sent back, I began as an intern and then a reporter and thought to myself why not become an anchor too. Hussein Mohammed encouraged me and said if I want to be a good anchor I should be myself. Johnson Mwakazi taught me a few things and prayed with me. The amazing @kirigongarua sat through many of my initial mistakes and helped me grow” reads part of Willis Raburu’s post.

A thankful Ruburu also saluted his bosses at Royal Media Services for trusting his talent and giving him a chance to work with them.
