K24 is set to suffer a fresh blow after it emerged Business Editor Tony Timase is headed to rival station, NTV.
According to sources at DSM Place, the Mediamax Network headquarters along Kijabe Street in Nairobi, Timase is currently serving notice having secured a job at Nation Media Group.
“He recently went for an interview there. What I hear from HR is that he is serving notice. He could go anytime from now,” said the source.
The K24 Business Desk is presently depleted having lost news anchors Zawadi Mudibo and Maya Kayahawa to BBC in July last year. Mudibo was Timase’s deputy.
Promising reporter Brenda Kerubo has also joined KTN after quitting K24 in November last year. There are reports she opted to resign following persistent indecent advances from one of her bosses.
Timase was appointed in March 2016 to replace replace Solomin Kirimi who was retrenched in December of the previous year.
News of his departure comes as sources told Business Today several other senior editors at Mediamax Network, especially k24, could be on their way out.
