Citizen TV’s Boss Loses His Once Powerful Dad

Royal Media Services Managing Director, Wachira Warruru, is in mourning. The ingenious CEO lost his father on Monday night at Tumu Tumu Mission Hospital.

Mr. Waruru Kanja, a former Minister and Nyeri Town Member of Parliament who served in both the late President Jomo Kenyatta and former President Daniel arap Moi’s governments, died after a battle with a long bout of illness.

The late Kanja was one of the most powerful politicians from Central Province in his heydays. He was a former freedom fighter and was jailed by the British colonial government for taking part in the Mau Mau rebellion and played a leading role in post-independence politics in Kenya.

His name will be remembered alongside other icons of Kenya’s struggle for independence.

May his soul rest in peace.
