Former Citizen TV Anchor Kirigo Ng’arua
Former Citizen TV news anchor has revealed how she was sacked by her former employer when she was set to go on air.
Anchor Kirigo Ng’arua received information that she had been fired in 2016, while preparing to read 1PM news.
When the list of people who had been laid off was revealed, her name was second.
“I was in the office, I was actually preparing for the 1pm news. It was around 12.30pm, and I was literally the second person on the list to be called in,” Kirigo recounted.
Though she was still ready to go live, the station’s management made other arrangments.
Part of what helped her accept the decision to lay her off was a rumor within the office that it was bound to happen.
“There was talk it was going to happen, and so a part of me expected it. There was definitely some shock that it actually did happen, but I just accepted it,” she told her interviewer.
To get away from everything that was happening and all the talk that was going on, she travelled to Ghana where some friends had invited her.
Kirigo is currently involved in Communications, Youth, Women, Governance, Mediation, International Diplomacy, Farming and Branding.
