You probably didn’t see what I did with the title. But former Switch TV news anchor Robert Ouma shifted careers from TV to the roads.
Switch TV ceased from live broadcasting in December last year. The company’s chairman said that the company would focus on digital marketing this year.
‘…In character with our core philosophy of being responsive to the needs of the youth and with the ambition to become the go-to media platform for the emerging generation, Switch Media has made a conscious decision to build a new strategy around being
digital-first,” the media group Chairman, Sahil Shah, stated.
Before the untimely closure of the station, Robert was a Swahili news anchor.
Matatu tout
So taking to Instagram, Robert shared videos of his new office stating that ‘an office is just a name.’ He is currently a tout in one of the PSV buses plying the Rongai route. An office is just a name, let’s work. Tout of the week Rongai massive.
Ouma in a short clip seen in his Insta stories, termed himself as the cleanest dondaa (tout) in town. Who told him the rest are untidy? Or is it because they wear shabby and dull uniforms and do not document their jobs on Instagram? Unlike him who is rocking ties?
The tout said that a man has got to do what they can to earn an honest living. “I’m about to close work for the day, one should strive to do what they can because this is the situation. An office is just a name and the money is just as sweet.”
