Popular Journalist With The Standard Group Resigns.

Popular lawyer and Journalist, Wahome Thuku has finally left the employ of the Standard Group where he has been working at  since 2008. 

 He leaves the job only weeks after he had a brush with the CID after allegations that he had published objectionable comments on his social media which portrayed  Mukurwe-ini Member of Parliament in in bad light. 

On a statement he wrote on his social media, Wahome Thuku wrote : 

“…Speaking of opportunities and Gods blessings, my departure from Standard Group certainly opens another phase of life. I have been a full-time journalist since 2002 with only a one year break and now I intend to turn to law practice and to other personal engagements. Writing is however in my blood, the love of my life and I don’t intend to depart from that line. And if/when political ambitions will come calling, I will not shy away….”

Judging from the post, the lawyer has left Standard to concentrate on his Law career. He also hinted that he might be joining a passion of his, Politics. 

He also went ahead to say that his relationship with his employer was still cordial and not the reason why he was leaving: 

I have enjoyed each day at the Standard Group. I will miss all my colleagues particularly court writers, my senior editors who have inspired me greatly and all those I worked with. My only word to all, the opportunity you have is God given. There are millions of other Kenyans, more qualified, more hardworking, more intelligent, more diligent but have not had the chance to be where you are. Whatever you do, do it well. God bless you and God bless Kenya.
