A threat from Kikuyu elders has put Media Services in a difficult position. In 2016, the company's CEO, SK Macharia, made significant changes to the organization, including the termination of over 100 employees, among them top anchors Terryanne Chebet and Kirigo Ng'arua.
The sudden changes at Media Services were met with shock and disappointment from Kenyans. Now, SK Macharia is facing a new challenge from Kikuyu elders, who have threatened to take action against him if certain conditions are not met.
