Kila la heri Dennis BBC

Top investigative journalist Dennis Okari on Wednesday confirmed his departure from NTV, as he takes up what he termed as his next big challenge at BBC World.

Dennis shared a touching farewell message on social media thanking all those who have supported him and pledged to continue telling the African story to the world.

Here’s the message

FAREWELL: It is with great pride but sad note that I’m posting this message .

It has been a great joy working for Nation Media Group – NTV as a Senior Investigative and Crime reporter. Like everything else in this life, my time has come to an end.

My last day at NTV is today after I resigned a month ago. I wish to thank all my friends here, fans, family and colleagues in the industry who followed my stories and my career path.

I have worked with KBC, Metro FM, TBN – Family media, Barakafm, KTN, Kiss TV, NTV and now it’s time to spread my wings to a global audience.

I am joining BBC World. I leave the local scene with my head held high that in my very small way through my stories, I was able to make a small difference.

I look forward to my next big challenge but will carry with me fond memories of those I interacted with. Those who took time to call me, text, email or share story ideas. Thank you.

NTV is the best newsroom any journalist would want to work in and I will miss my colleagues.

I will continue telling the Kenya (African) story to the world.

God bless you all!”
