It is exactly a year after former Citizen TV anchor Kirigo
Ng’arua was layed off by Royal Media Services together with TerryAnne Chebet
and a couple of their colleagues.
Speaking to Pulse, Kirigo has for the first time come out to
narrate her experience after being retrenched from the TV station.
“My Lay-Off Came As A Bit Of A Shock To Me As I Did Not See
Myself Leaving Citizen Tv Any Time Soon. Well, I Knew That Some People Would Be
Laid Off But I Did Not Give It Much Thought As I Was Focused On Making Myself
Better In My Job,” She Opens Up, Nostalgically Recollecting The Events Of That
October 30th. “What I Actually Dreaded Came To Be A Reality. In That Shock, I
Wasn’t Sure How To React. But There Was No Going Back For Me. I Had To Move
Forward.”
To get out of all the destruction and pressure from social
media, the former TV girl decided to go abroad and ease the pain. At the time,
she took to social media to tell fans that she was going to look for better
opportunities, perhaps greener pastures!

She went on to tell Pulse that she was not benefiting from a
sponsor during the trip
“I Have Some Of My Relatives Abroad And They Invited Me Over
To Spend Some Time With Them And I Considered It A Way For Me To Take My Mind
Off Things From That, People Started Spreading Rumours That I Was Dating A
‘Sponsor’ And That He Was Taking Me On Holiday. It’s Funny How People Love To
Draw Conclusions About An Issue Even Before Getting Their Facts Right,”
After releasing stress, she is back, stronger than before
and has a new show dubbed The Girlfriends’ Table.
“After I Went Abroad I Wasn’t Doing Much And So I Gained A
Lot Of Weight. I Put On So Much Weight And By That Time I Weighed 86 Kilograms.
I Am Back To The Gym Though And Doing My Everyday Work Outs As Well As Eating
Well To Get Back My Body.”
After her retrenchment, she has been sharing inspirational
quotes on social media, her recent one being one that she talks about life
being hard and messy.
“As You Grow Older..Life Doesn’t Get Easier…In Fact It Gets
Harder And Sometimes Extremely Messy…What I Have Learnt Tho Is That Prayer And
A Smile A Day Makes It Worthwhile..What’s Your Remedy?”
