"Sasa nafsi yangu ni nzito ila nitaifanya kuwa nyepesi, kwa kuyashusha yaliyo ndani moyoni, ulinifika wito nikaitikia wito, wito wa kuyaganga mengine nje ya chumba cha Habari cha KTN News na Standard Group kwa jumla nikaridhia kwa moyo safi safari ya miaka saba sasa imefikia kikomo. Nikutaarifu, nikujuze, nikufahamishe na nikuelimisha, inatamatika leo safari hio yote. Nikushukuru vipi mpenzi mtazamaji? Nitakuwa mkosa fadhila nisiposema hivi; asante sana shirika la The Standard Group Plc. Kwa fursa hii adimu. Asante sana wanahabari, wasomaji wenza, wahariri, n ahata viongozi wengine wote na jopo zima nyuma ya mitambo Mashallah kwa kunifanya nipendeze. Asanteni kwa Subira yenu.
Shabiki wangu wewe ni tunu, wewe ni dhahabu, tuendelee kufaana hata huko nje Insha Allah tutakutana tena hivi karibuni," said Mr Matambo.
