Willis Raburu leaves Citizen TV after 13 years

The Citizen TV host announced his departure from RMS on Monday, promising to say goodbye in all the shows he has been participating in. 

“This week, I bid farewell to Royal Media Services, my home for 13 remarkable years. Thank you for the platform to break barriers, inspire change, and connect with all of you. Onward to new adventures!” Raburu tweeted. 

The 10 over 10 show host extended warm gratitude to RMS and his colleagues. 

“Am grateful to you who have worked with me in all these 13 years I have been in the media doing several different things. Am grateful to my colleagues, am grateful to the opportunity to come out and do whatever it is that I love,” he said.

“I have learnt a lot and I have experienced a lot and it has allowed me to grow in my mind in my appreciation of people, in my appreciation of things and even attitudes,” he continued to narrate his experience at RMS.

Raburu’s journey at RMS started in 2010, where he transited from an intern to a News reporter, and later a host of TruthMeter weekly show. 

His influence escalated to the field of entertainment where he hosts highly-rated 10 over 10 show which airs every Friday.

Spending time in the entertainment arena gave him a platform to release a hit song ‘Kalale’ in 2021 in collaboration with some Genge artists.

He has won a couple of awards like the Children’s Rights Award, the Maji Award, and the Road Safety Award.

Willis says the journey at RMS offered him opportunities to learn new things and meet great people.

He has had an opportunity to report in Somalia during Kenya’s military excursion into the region, and the conflict in South Sudan, as well as the US Elections in 2012.
