Is Citizen TV’s Delectable Anne Kiguta Leaving TV for Lecturing?

After years on the screen, Citizen TV’s senior anchor, Anne Kiguta, seems to have an interest in lecturing.

The Citizen TV screen siren is spreading her wings to lecturing PHD students. She’s slated to give a lecture to PhD fellows from 11 African universities on how researchers can work with media to engage decision makers. 

Apparently, this is not her first time to give such lectures. Kiguta has previously given public lectures on the role of media in development as well as children’s and women’s rights advocacy at various meetings of government and NGOs.

Thursday, the screen siren and seasoned journalist will be speaking at the event organized by the Consortium for Advanced Research and Training in Africa, the African Population and Health Research Center and the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

 

 

The joint seminar at Safari Park hotel in Nairobi draws fellows in their last year of PhD studies. Kiguta is expected to explain how researchers can work with media to ensure important findings are used to influence public policy. She will also be judging presentations by the PhD students.

Talented Kiguta began her career at Hope FM when she was only 18 and later on moved to Capital FM as a news anchor before making her way to Standard Group as an anchor. She joined Citizen TV towards the end of 2013 as the Group Digital Content Manager-Royal Media Services before being unveiled as part of the station’s New Horizons in News Delivery re-launch.

With a solid experience in matters politics, she now hosts one of the country’s biggest political shows #OpinionCourt on Thursday night after she pioneered a similar show (Checkpoint) on KTN.
