The Nation Media Group has fired popular investigative journalist Dennis Okari. Okari was fired days after fellow popular news anchor Mark Masai was sent home by the media company.

“My assignment at NTV has come to an end. I am grateful to God for the opportunity to serve,” said Okari.

He said that while he endeavoured to be the best, the team behind him was key to his success.

“I gave it my all but I couldn’t have done it without the help of an incredible team and an amazing audience. It is time to move on to something bigger and greater than myself.”

Mark Masai’s bold message after getting sacked by NMG

Over the past one week, the Nation Media Group has been on a firing spree that has been termed as restructuring. This has seen prominent journalists leave the company.

Other top journalists who have received their sack letters include Churchill Otieno who was the head of news and managing editor, Peter Ngare who has been the managing editor for Taifa Leo, and Guchu Ndung’u who has been the editor for Political and Parliamentary Affairs.

Also fired are Joan Pereruan who has been the photo editor, Vincent Achuka who has been working as the investigative news reporter, Silas Apolo who has been working as a news reporter and Harry Misiko who is an Alfred Friendly Fellow.

Reports say that more journalists are on the chopping board and are due to receive their sack letters any time.
