The former NTV journalist has for years reported on issues regarding horn of Africa and lately he has been reporting from the front-line on the War against Alshabaab in Somali.

Following the attack on KDF in El-Ede camp by Alshabaab that led to loss of more than 100 soldiers, the former TV journalist has been the only source of information for Kenyans since the government seemed to have little to share with the public.
