Former Kiss FM radio presenter Shaffie Weru is headed to Nairobi County Government in a prestigious new role.
The media personality will be heading the events and branding docket at Nairobi County for the next five years.
This is not the first time Shaffie has worked with Governor Sakaja.
"Looking forward to making Nairobi work and be great again just as it's indicated in the Governor's manifesto," Shaffie Weru said.
Speaking elsewhere to Nairobi News about his new role, Shaffie told he has a great vision for Nairobi county
“Nairobi is the New York or Paris of our country, and we offer the best experience and push boundaries that have never been pushed before to give the best results in service delivery for our number one client, the people of kanairo.”
If you recall the Nairobi Festival that was held by the county, then you need to know Shaffie was behind its coming together.
The festival was held from December 12 to December 17.
The creativity that went into it impressed city residents who took note of those who planned it. Shaffie spoke about the festival back then.
“Nairobi Festival is his baby. It’s part of his manifesto. He wanted to have a festival that runs a whole weekend every December after Jamhuri day.
"So instead of people finishing with Jamhuri day celebrations and then some few people going for lunch in State House and others going home, people will now be able to go to the park and celebrate a festival that goes on for three to four days. He’s a man on a mission and we plan to bring a lot of dignity to the city,” Shaffie said.
Shaffie also helped plan Sakaja's inauguration ceremony.
Shaffie said Sakaja called upon him to organize the event which undeniably turned out well.
“When he got inaugurated, he called upon me and the whole team to do something spectacular for him and we definitely obliged. I think that was the best gubernatorial inauguration ceremony ever done,” he remarked.
