Olive Burrows set to officially join Citizen Weekend team

Seasoned journalist Olive Burrows is set to officially be introduced to the Citizen Weekend anchoring team this Saturday, June 1, 2024.

Burrows will grace the Citizen TV screens on Saturdays and Sundays, co-hosting the Sunday Live prime-time show with media virtuoso Jeff Koinange.

She takes over from journalism firebrand Victoria Rubadiri who joined CNN in April.

Burrows says that she is elated to join the Royal Media Services (RMS) news anchoring team, promising to embrace professionalism and excellence in line of duty.

"I am incredibly honoured to have joined the team. They have received me with open arms. And as iron sharpens iron, I look forward to a season of growth," she told Citizen Digital.

"As a journalist, I'm keen to promote good governance and accountability with my news reports and on Citizen Weekend you can expect to get the Kenyan perspective on global events. And if there's anything the Covid pandemic taught us, it's that we are never far removed from places we once thought were far removed from our part of the world."

Before joining RMS, Burrows worked at the Nation Media Group as a prime time news anchor for six years, and was at Capital FM prior to that.
