Former Switch TV News anchor Robert Ouma has turned to Matatu Touting after being laid off last year. 

The station laid off a number of reporters and news anchors after closing their on-air broadcasts to focus on digital content. 

Some news anchors have found a new home in other TV stations, but Robert Ouma has resorted to doing a job outside the newsroom. 

The bilingual news anchor and producer is now a Matatu tout plying the Nairobi -Rongai route. 

He has been sharing videos and pictures of himself in Matatus, which he calls his new office. 

"Just from work, trying to do what I can because that is what it is. An office is just a name, but money is so sweet. That is what inspires me," Ouma said. 

The journalist turns up for his Matatu job in neat clothes and even puts on a necktie. 

This is unlike many Nairobi touts who do not dress neatly while going to work.
