Sports Editor Mike Okinyi remembered when Ndong who worked in the sales department was asked to do a screen test as a sports news anchor.

Okinyi then wished him well in his next move.

"It was three weeks of hard training, back and forth and when I sent the clip to our then boss Farida Karoney she said I take you for sports," he said.

"You have developed into one of the strongest people I have worked with. Farewells are never easy and we wish you all the best."

Waihiga Mwaura shared: "You are a brother and you know the journey we started together 13 years ago. I remember when we once went out on a trip and there was no place to sleep, and that's when our friendship was built. The citizen sports desk will not be the same."
