Willis Raburu revealed that he was frustrated while he was an intern at a local media house before joining the Maalim Juma road based media house.

Wonderful time with @koinangejeff and Dr. SK Macharia, Chairman Royal Media Services.

He attributes his success to radio king Jeff Koinange advising him on how to go about in this tough, flooded and competitive industry.

This moment means a lot to me because 8 years ago after being frustrated at a place I was interning (Another station before Citizen) Jeff told me ”do not give up, one day people will know your name” and 8 years later working at Royal Media Services has indeed helped me. I am forever grateful to God for the opportunity and for Dr. SK who continues to be a fountain of wisdom and encouragement!!! He says “when you fail, laugh at yourself and try again!”
