How Willis Raburu was surprised at Citizen TV

Raburu is known for his versatility in hosting the morning show and the famous 10 Over 10 every Friday.

The Moi University alumnus quit the station after 13 years.

On his last day hosting the morning show, his wife Ivy Namu and son surprised him in the studio.

Raburu was stunned upon walking into the studio and seeing his colleagues and family waiting for him a cake.

The delighted newsman greeted them before carrying his son, Mali.

In his speech, Raburu expressed gratitude for the opportunity for all the partners who made his cooking show a success.

“Time to reflect on the incredible memories, mouth-watering dishes and joy this show has gotten into our lives," he said but was interrupted by his son Mali.

Ivy momentarily calmed him down by making funny faces before Raburu placed him on the table with the cake. She eventually carried Mali after he became restless.

What is Willis Raburu's new job?

On Tuesday, August 22, Raburu announced that he had joined TV47.

The media personality shared two videos looking dapper in a suit, denim and smart casual outfits, noting that it was the start of a new journey.

“Welcome to the new journey. The wait is over! Announcing my partnership with TV47, wabebe,” he wrote.

Buckle your seatbelts! We are in for an amazing ride!"
