Journalist Hussein Mohammed Appointed Head of Communications in Ruto Presidential Campaign
Renowned TV journalist Hussein Mohammed has been appointed head of communications in the Deputy President William Ruto Presidential Campaign.
His appointment comes more than a year after he left Royal Media Services where he worked as a news anchor for Citizen TV for 10 years.
“It has been a wonderful 10 years at Citizen TV. I have enjoyed and relished every moment I shared with my colleagues at RMS. I have decided to take a break after October In Sha Allah to concentrate on other matters,” he announced in October 2019.
The journalist is said to have moved into consultancy and runs a media company called Iris Media. During his time at Citizen TV, Hussein interviewed some of the country’s top political leaders including President Kenyatta, Deputy President William Ruto, and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
Hussein is expected to manage media relations for Ruto’s campaign in the run-up to the August 9th presidential election.
Ruto is considered a frontrunner in the race to succeed President Kenyatta and is promising to use the bottom-up economic model to revive the country’s fortune if elected this year.
The deputy president will contest for the country’s topmost political seat on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket. He will go head-to-head with ODM leader Raila Odinga, who will be making his fifth stab at the presidency under the ‘Azimio La Umoja’ movement.

Reminds me of Kwendo Opanga working as Moi campaign consultant while bashing Kanu regime and its corruption. At the end of the day, these Kenyan journalists just pretend to be shining a light on corruption while angling to join the gravy train.
Good example Moha.
This people are a bunch of hypocrites. Isn’t this the guy that consucted a “tough” interview asking Ruto to state whether he owns Weston or not and put the matter to rest? And now he is in his camp? Wow
NEXT GOVERNMENT WILL VE WORSE THAN HALF BREAD 2007
ALL RUNNING ARE VERY UGLY
KINGS OF CORRUPTION
Hussein is a very cerebrated journalist but if he goes towards DP or any other politician all what he earned will go to the drain. Remember in this position one has to defend any narrative regardless true or otherwise. I remind him of Jicho Pevu who was regarded as mtetezi wa wanyonge.
Ati Bahari Yake,Hussein,Hussein that-Wacheni hiyo UPUUZI wenu.No one gives the reasons why you wanted him to join Raila military/killer gang,Al Shabaab.You could also have hired him,or just double his pay to stay idle instead of joining jambazi Ruto’s side.
Tangu uchaguzi wa 2017 umalizike, Dr. Kipchirchir Samoei Arap huu alijitenga na Rais Uhuru Ngina Kamau (Kenyatta) halafu akaanza masomo yake ya uzamivu (PhD) na kuyamaliza. Alijitahidi kama awezavyo kumwaga pesa makanisani akijiandaa kuchaguliwa rais 2022. Kama angechukua pesa hizi na kujenga viwanda nchini, vijana wengi wangepata ajira na kuendelea na maisha yao kama ilivyo.
Kwenye mikutano yake ya kisiasa, kwa kawaida unawaona vijana wengi ambao huja kumsikiliza akitoa hotuba yake ya kujiandaa kuwa rais wa Kenya 2022. Vijana hawa hufika kwa wingi kwa sababu hawana jambo lolote la kufanya. Kama wangekuwa na kazi, wangekuwa wakiendelea na kazi zao badala ya kuhudhguria mikutano hii ya siasa,
Hebu tazama vidio klipu ifuatayo na kuona jinsi Ndugu yetu Samoei ametufilisisha kwa kutumia mali ya umma (serikali) kujijenga yeye binafsi.
