The Standard Media Group has been experiencing financial struggles for the past few months, which have resulted in the company not being able to pay its staff for almost two months.
This has caused several reporters and senior presenters to gradually leave the company.
The latest to exit the scene is Hassan Mwana Wa Ali, who was instrumental in launching various segments after the inception of Radio Maisha FM.
Hassan Mwana Wa Ali is a very talented radio presenter, known for his astute and prolific presentation style.
He has a unique crowd-pulling ability and his charming punchlines are always punctuated with laughter.
Additionally, he is one of the best football commentators and analysts in the industry, with a mastery of Kiswahili that is out of this world.
It is unclear where Hassan’s next destination will be, but his departure is undoubtedly a significant blow for the Standard Media Group.
Hassan had been working for the company for a decade.
His departure follows that of Radio Maisha news presenter Beatrice Maganga, who left the company last month after working for the company for the same period.
The departure of these key presenters has left many questioning the future of the company, especially as it continues to face financial challenges.
However, it is clear that Hassan’s contribution to the radio industry in Kenya has been invaluable.
He is a seasoned professional whose absence is bound to be felt by many of his fans and colleagues alike.
As the Standard Media Group continues to grapple with financial difficulties, the question remains, how many more talented reporters and presenters will be forced to leave the company?
It is an uncertain time for the media industry in Kenya, and all eyes are on how the Standard Media Group will navigate these challenging times.
