Mwanaisha Chidzuga's journey in media

Her media journey commenced at Pwani FM, where she earned her first on-air job as a news presenter.
She subsequently expanded her profile at the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) before solidifying her presence at the Kenya Television Network.
However, her time at the latter was marked by an unexpected turn of events when she was handed a termination notice in 2015.
Undeterred, she continued her career journey with stints at other stations, including the esteemed BBC.

Despite the challenges encountered along the way, her resilience and dedication continued to shine through.
Unfortunately, her journey at the Mediamax-owned company met a roadblock in 2019, when she faced redundancy.
Stepping beyond the confines of media, Chidzuga ventured into the political arena in September 2021, vying for the Matuga Parliamentary seat, inspired by her mother's legacy.
Chidzuga is married to Tana River Senator Danson Mungatana. As she transitions into her new role, her time in the media space will help her in the execution of her new duties.
