Mark Maasai explains why he was fired from Nation Media Group

Mark Masai, a well-known media figure, has addressed his abrupt departure from Nation Media Group for the first time.

Life is never fair, but Masai, who was sacked from NTV after 14 years, expressed happiness that his dismissal ended up being a blessing in disguise.

Mark stated that if he hadn’t been let go from his TV position, he would not now be in charge of a communications department.

When asked if his termination from NTV was just, Mark responded as follows:

There is nothing really fair in life and so if you look out and expect life to be fair to you, who the hell do you think you are? People have gone through a lot in life but what happened turned into a very fortunate thing for me. Right behind the camera is my family at PMS. Had it not been out there that I have left NTV; my current bosses wouldn’t have known of it and called me. I work with a great team doing communications & public relations…

Life is not fair and it is not pegged on anyone… life is life, so deal with it and move on and I’m not bitter in any way. I was not going to be in the newsroom forever.

I’m very much okay. It was a shocker what happened because it was not according to my timing but I want not going to be in the newsroom forever.

“But I was transitioning anyway but it was not cording to my timing but right now I’m actually in touch with myself and the brand in terms of what my worth is as Mark Masai the brand more… and there is a good feedback from the market. I have actually been on a point and a journey of appreciating that my value is bigger than I thought it was, so much bigger.”
