"Our multimedia team too gets strengthened through the addition of the rigorous Akello Odenyo, whose reporting is grounded in what matters most to Debunk," a statement read in part.

Other journalists hired by Debunk Media in November 2022 included Otiato Guguyu, who joined as Current Affairs Editor, Chia Kayanda as an Associate Digital Editor and Joan Masinde as Current Affairs Researcher.

Before joining NTV  in 2012, Sendeyo was a reporter at Royal Media Services (RMS) for nearly three years, from 2008 to 2011.

"I cannot believe how quickly the days melted into 11 years, But as my time at NTV winds down, I can't help but help reflect on all the awesome people I have had the pleasure of working with over the years," she stated when quitting NTV

Debunk Media was founded by former Citizen TV investigative reporter Asha Mwilu to meet the country's changing demand for news consumers

"Content from international media is refined, but it doesn't really represent Kenya and the African continent as a whole. We have so much information competing for our attention daily. We often need to break everything down and discover why it matters to us.

"Through compelling storytelling and evidence-based journalism, we at Debunk Media want to explore new ways of helping you better understand the big events that shape your life," she told Kenyans.co.ke in a past interview.
