Boss moves! Asha Mwilu finally unveils next big project days after Citizen TV exit (Video)
Like many have reiterated, 2020 has not been the year for them, hasn’t been a smooth sail especially after the advent of the gut-wrenching Coronavirus pandemic.
The media industry is one that has suffered the severe beating of the fatal disease, slapping employees with retrenchment letters and all sorts of pay-cut percentages, left, right and center.
Former Citizen TV special projects editor, Asha Mwilu announced her untimely exit from the Royal Media Services-owned TV station in May and Kenyans were not sure what her plan B was.
Days later, it was revealed she would be launching her own media company, following her exit but that was as much detail as she let out.
