Ruto Offers Lucrative Job to Top Kenyan Journalist

KTN News Anchor and President of The Kenya Editors Guild Zubeida Kananu, has landed an appointment with the Ministry of Information, Communication and the Digital Economy as a member of The Sector Working Group alongside Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi.

The appointments to the working group were announced at the Serena Hotel on September 8, where CS Eliud Owalo unveiled the members who will be tasked to look into policies and come up with recommendations on the ministry’s track record and policies.

She was recently elected as President of the Kenya Editors Guild and has now been selected to sit in the ICT working group that will guide on coordination and approach to administration in the Ministry of ICT.

The bubbly presenter joined the Standard Media Group owned station in 2007 as an intern. Little did she know that she would remain there years later. Others have come and gone, some due to redundancy, others in search of greener pastures but Zubeida has remained at the Standard Media Group owned TV station for over 15 years.

She reads news in Swahili and has gained immense experience over the years and is a role model to many who wish to become journalists. Over the years, she has risen through the ranks and is now a senior anchor with the station. She still remains relevant and keeps most of her private affairs out of the limelight.

Zubeidah Koome is a Bachelor and Master’s Degree icon from Nazarene University. She started her higher learning education at the Kenya School of Professional Studies in Parklands.

The presenter later joined Shang’ Tao Media Arts College before proceeding to Crossworld Institute. Zubeda graduated with a diploma in Journalism and went a step further to crown it at Nazarene.

Her career highlights indicate that she attended the Nairobi-based Africa Nazarene University, where she majored in Peace and Conflict Resolution Studies.
