“Big loss!” Mixed reactions as no-nonsense Citizen TV political journalist walks out after a whooping 10 years

Outspoken Citizen TV journalist, Hussein Mohamed has called it quits at the Royal Media Services’ owned station after 10 years.

The tough political news anchor made this public announcement on Friday, revealing that he will be taking a break from the art.

Clocking 10 years now, he leaves with delight as he thanks his employer and fans for the successful path he has had in the last decade of his career.

It has been a wonderful 10 years at Citizen TV. I have enjoyed & relished every moment I shared with my colleagues at RMS. I have decided to take a break after October In Sha Allah to concentrate on other matters. Loved the fans, the critics and everything in between. See you soon.

However, fans don’t believe that he has literally come to a halt, rather presume the political journalist might be headed to Betty Kyallo’s current home, K24.

He remains acknowledged as one of Kenya’s top political show host who directed hard-hitting questions to his guests – mostly from the political field.

I will miss the ‘hardtalk’ interviews with politicians. You tactfully managed your emotions with a smile even when you knew they were mean with answers.

An objective anchor, and one that interrogates almost all the interviewees to the core, is leaving

. This sounds a big loss, a huge defiant to the royal media service. Wish you the best of luck bro

Well, Hussein failed to disclose further details on the same. But we wish him well!
