Veteran journalist Yvonne Okwara has taken up a new role as Head of Investments and Partnerships at Shuga Global after leaving Citizen TV, where she spent two decades in broadcasting, according to Tuko.

Royal Media Services Editorial Director Linus Kaikai congratulated her, praising her contribution to Kenyan journalism and her commitment to accountability, Tuko reports. In her farewell she urged former colleagues to stay the course ahead of the 2027 General Election, which she described as a defining moment.

Separately, former Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria spoke about life after his dismissal by Governor Johnson Sakaja. In a Facebook post he said he was getting used to sleeping more, reaffirmed his commitment to community service and rescue work, and maintained his ambition to contest the Nairobi governorship in 2027, according to Tuko.
