Next Phase! Betty Kyalo to ditch media and join politics in a few years

News anchor Betty Kyalo has caught many off guard after recently announcing that she’s thinking of joining Kenya’s newest cash crop — Politics.

In an interview with with Sasa, Kyalo shared that she’s watching how other young politicians such as Babu Owino and Jaguar fare before she fully makes her mind. But it’s something she has been really thinking of lately.

“It is something that has crossed my mind a number of times and the thing is we have quite a number of young leaders now who are in Parliament,” she said. 

Taking notes

She went on to add that she’s interested in offering leadership to the youth but is closely watching to see how Babu Owino, Jaguar and Caleb Hamisi will maneuver before she can step in and maybe give women better leadership.

“I just want to see whether they will deliver on the promises they made to young people. I am really looking at the young politicians, the likes of Babu Owino, Jaguar and Caleb Hamisi and I hope that they can deliver to some extent. If they can, then I will know there is hope for other people like me who would want to represent young people or Kenyan women in another platform. It’s not alien to me but I’m waiting to see.”
