Former KBC journalist Shiksha Arora has been the most recent journalist to switch her working station.

She was poached from KBC where she worked for three years hosting  "Easy Friday" to join TV47.

"My heart is overflowing with emotions as I type this. It’s hard to say goodbye to a workplace that I called home for 3 years & colleagues who have become like family. Thank you to everyone who joined me on this incredible journey on #EasyFriday on KBC for the past 3 years. I covered the elections, danced with the biggest names in the entertainment scene in Kenya, interviewed over a 100 celebrities & artists on the show & WHAT A TIME WE HAD! We’ve laughed, danced, cried, and grew together on @kbc_television This isn’t just the end of a show; it’s just the beginning of a new chapter which I am very excited for. As I say goodbye to KBC, join me tonight at 9 PM, one last time on Easy Friday!" Shiksha wrote on her last day at KBC.
