Ex-NTV news presenter Mark Maasai has finally spoken about his unfair firing at Nation Media Group after working at the company for 14 years.
Mark announced on Twitter that he had left the company, the news was not received well by Kenyans on Twitter and many went after the company saying that his firing was unreasonable.
Today Mark hinted that he had a problem with the company’s Human Resource Officer. Taking to his socials Mark posted:
” Let’s face it, a conversation needs to be had about HR & how operations can be managed better. Watch this space…Today”
Kenyans on Twitter quickly engaged in his conversations saying:
Patriotic Kenyan: Waiting for that topic. By the way, if you collaborate with @dennisokarior any other like-minded individuals and come up with a digital media most Kenyans would switch to your content because the current mainstream media broadcast half-baked news
Allan The Great: If Nation Media Group has the worst HR department in corporate Kenya, blasting them here won’t add any value to you. If I were you, I would be re-packaging my brand and image to potential employers or informing the world on your next move where you can capitalize on. NTV wachana nao
Mark was later followed by Okari.
