Renowned TV Presenter Willis Raburu has resigned as the chair of the Nairobi County Festival Committee just three months after being appointed.
“This morning, I have officially informed the leadership of the county that I will no longer be serving in my capacity as the chair of Nairobi Festival Committee,” Raburu said.
In a statement on Monday, October 30, the TV 47 presenter said his decision is driven by recognition of the pressing need for systemic change to enhance the effectiveness of service delivery and leadership.
Raburu said that his decision to quit will serve as a catalyst for the necessary transformation that the county deserves.
“It is clear that to better serve the county and its residents, a more comprehensive look at existing systems is essential, which to be fair, have already been instituted and I wish them all the best in this regard,” he said
The Wabebe host said that his hope was that his resignation will help expedite the transformation process.
“I remain dedicated to supporting the county from a different vantage point and will continue to work towards the betterment of the community,” he added.
He thanked Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and his administration for the opportunity to serve Nairobians for the last three months.
“It has been an honor to work alongside Governor Johnson Sakaja and his administration, and I would like to express my deep gratitude for the trust and opportunity that they have extended to me during my time here,” he said.
“I thank the county leadership for the opportunities I have been given and look forward to witnessing the positive changes that will result from this pivotal moment,” he added.
