Wednesday, May 06, 2026 - Willis Raburu has opened up on why he chose to step away from the media industry at his prime.
Speaking in an interview, Raburu explained that he felt it
was time to create space for the younger generation.
“I felt like at that point, it was time to start ushering in the
next generation of people because in my mind I was like it’s time to leave.”
The former TV host reflected on his journey, recalling how
he once wrote down his dreams in a campus notebook.
“I literally wrote there, Citizen TV, I wrote down how much money I
want to get paid.”
“The Bible says write the vision and make it plain, I wrote down
all that stuff,” he shared.
Raburu’s exit from the media came two years after leaving
Cape Media’s TV47, where he hosted the Wabebe Experience every Friday
night.
Before that, he was the face of Citizen TV’s 10 Over
10, a show that defined youthful entertainment for years.
On April 23rd, Raburu officially joined the Linda
Mwananchi Movement, a faction associated with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and
Siaya Governor James Orengo and announced his bid for the Kisumu senatorial
seat in 2027.
Governor Orengo welcomed him warmly, praising his “signature
youthful energy and creative media edge.
“Today, I had an engaging tete-a-tete with Willis Raburu. He
is officially bringing his signature youthful energy, corporate MC expertise,
and creative media edge to the Linda Mwananchi Movement,” said Orengo.
