"Anamapenzi ya dhati kwa kazi tunayo ifanya. Anamapnenzi ya dhati kupenda kusaidia vijana" He added how this also inspires him to push on.
"Hakuna mwigizaji mbaya, ni kama hajapewa fursa, lakini cha msingi ni ijapo apewa fursa zile sifa zikafanya akabweteka. Akasahau kuwajibitikia kazi yake. Sifa ni changamoto ufanye utie bidii."
"Lakini sifa isifanye kwamba umefika dunia ni yako, utapotea hautafika mahali hio ni siri kubwa. Nguvu zangu ziko hapo nyuma"
The Citizen TV newscaster loves working with his wife. He appreciates how she holds him to account.
"Kusema ukweli mimi sikuoa mrembo nimeoa rafiki yangu, kwa hivyo mimi sina wasi wasi kuwa na rafiki yangu inje ya nyumba na ndani ya studio."
"Ukifanya kazi na mtu ambaye ni rafiki yako hakuna fegisu fegisu ..unatoboa tu kwasababu mimi nafurahi tu niko na rafiki yangu. Rafiki ambaye ukikosea atakuambia ukweli , rafiki hakufichi labda rafiki wa uongo na rafiki analilia kukukosoa,".
