In a surprise announcement that has left many fans stunned, Citizen TV's popular news anchor Stephen Letto has confirmed he will be leaving the station after many years of loyal service. Letto, who has become a household name with his charismatic presenting style and in-depth reporting, shared the news in an emotional statement to his fans.
"I've had an incredible journey here at Citizen TV, and I’m deeply grateful for the support I've received from my colleagues and the viewers. It has been an honor to bring you the news and to be part of such a vibrant team," Letto said.
The news anchor revealed that he has accepted an exciting new opportunity at Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), where he will take on a new role in their expanding news division. Letto’s departure from Citizen TV marks the end of an era, as his voice has been synonymous with the station for over a decade.
"While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye, I am excited to begin this new chapter at KBC, and I look forward to continuing to serve Kenyans with the same dedication and passion you’ve come to expect from me," Letto added.

The announcement has raised questions about potential changes at Citizen TV, with sources within the station saying that a new anchor will soon be introduced to take over Letto's prime-time slot. Letto’s move to KBC marks a significant shift in Kenya’s media landscape as competition between major broadcasters continues to intensify.
