Former Royal Media Services Editorial Director Joe Ageyo has said that he is leaving the S.K Macharia owned media group "an extremely proud man".
In his final remarks on Citizen TV show, News Gang, Ageyo said he was lucky to have had the opportunity to lead the most capable TV team in the country, as well as the most diverse team on the radio.
"I leave tonight an extremely proud man, proud of the mountains we've scaled together here, proud of any shoulders thee were to lean on when the ride took us to the valley," he said.
"I have had the privilege of leading the most formidable team on Kenyan television, the most diverse team on radio and no doubt a force to reckon with in the digital space too. A salute to my fellow directors and the teams they lead, your support was invaluable."
Ageyo, who has served as Editorial Director at RMS for the past four years, added that he was leaving to answer to a new calling.
He is reportedly going to Nation Media Group.
"True to the Shakespearian wisdom that all the world is but a large stage, a stage where all men and women are merely players; they have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays many parts. It is time for me to play another part because like the French say, he who doesn't advance recedes," he said.
Following his exit, the Royal Media Services appointed Linus Kaikai as the company's Editorial Director.
His appointment was announced on Wednesday by Managing Director Wachira Waruru.
"As Editorial Director, Linus will oversee the administrative and editorial functions of our news and current affairs operations across the RMS platforms," Waruru said.
Prior to his appointment, Kaikai was the Director of Strategy.
