Waihenya takes the hot seat at KBC

Waithaka Waihenya is the new chief news editor KBC.  Until his appointment, Waihenya  was The Standard Associate Editor in charge of weekend editions. He replaces Mr Hiram Mucheke who exited early this year after the departure of former MD Wachira Waruru. The two were hailed for their stand on handling issues and for setting a strong, fair and critical editorial with no sympathy to the government.

As the political fever continue to rise in the country, Waihenya has a daunting task ahead of him as he will tries to balance the pro and anti government agendas in the state owned broadcast.

As the editor in chief, Waihenya will determine the editorial content which will affect the lives on Kenyans.

He has cut an image in the media and is famous for the column faces the facts which he ran for a while at the Standard.

He is also the author of The Making of a Mediator, a biography on Lazaro Sumbeiywo.

Together with the management he will oversee, the continuing revamping of the station as it tries to modernize its archaic equipments.

However, only time will tell,

We wish him all the best.
