Former NTV anchor Mark Masai has denied claims that he was fired from NTV by a lady HR. While responding to a question asked on Twitter, Masai said the claims were not true.

Kenyans asked him to come out clean on the reasons behind his firing.

"Mark Masai a man who’s too good in his job is suddenly fired from NTV, because of a lady HR," Drey Mwangi said.

Responding to Mwangi,  Masai said "Not true @Dreymwangi." 

Earlier, the media personality had said that there is a need for a conversation about Human resources and how operations can be managed better.

He spoke regarding reports that alleged he was fired from NTV after 14 years of service. 

On December 2 through his official Twitter account, Mark said he enjoyed his stay at the Kimathi street-based media house but will be back soon.

"NTV Kenya is a great team! These are different times. Was a great show. Time for short a commercial break. I'll be back! #FadeToBlack #StayTuned," he tweeted.

In a Nation Media Group internal memo seen by the Star, the management said the refocus will result in a reorganisation of the workforce.

“This is an extremely difficult decision given the prevailing business environment,” the memo read.

“This exercise will be carried out with utmost dignity and by the Labour Laws of Kenya. We will strive to provide all the necessary support to help those affected to manage the transition.”

At NTV, he hosted Press Pass, a TV weekly show that interrogated and critiqued the big stories that are covered by local media.
