Here is a tweet shared by Ken Mijungu.
Speculations of his exit from the top media house had been rife with recent reports indicating that NMG's Editor-in-Chief Tom Mshindi had relieved Kaikai of his duties.
"Signs that he was headed for the exit door – one way or the other – became clear when Nation Media Group (NMG) recently effected editorial changes during which he (Tom Mshindi) promoted Pamela Asigi to the position of NTV Editor with a caveat that she would be reporting directly to him.
"In addition, Kaikai’s long-serving personal secretary was redeployed to Mshindi’s office," a source within NMG told Kenyans.co.ke.
Earlier reports indicated that Kaikai was offered a job with Royal Media Services (RMS) to take over the Operations Manager position left vacant by Lands Cabinet Secretary Farida Karoney.
Here are more reactions that were shared after the startling announcement.
