Anxiety hit airwaves as Hussein Mohamed hosts last show on Citizen TV

Top Kenyan journalist Hussein Mohamed is hosting his last show at Citizen TV after a 10-year stint at the Royal Media Services-owned station.

Hussein has been hosting the popular Newsnight show every Tuesday, before which he hosted the Big Question news segment.

In his final show, Hussein Mohamed will moderate a discussion pitting Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen against National Assembly Minority Leader John Mbadi.

The debate will majorly center around the contentious issue of which system of government between Parliamentary or Presidential is best for the country and the Building Bridges Initiative, in what is expected to be a showdown given the two fiery guests represent either side of the proverbial coin.

its been a good run with @HusseinMohamedg . From the bottom of my heart we learnt a lot from you on air and having worked together at Royal media services. May the good Lord protect you. You are simply the best. #Newsnight
