Richard Chacha Denies Reports That He Has Been Fired by NTV for Being ‘Crippled and Unproductive’

NTV senior political reporter Richard Chacha has come out to dispel rumours that he had been fired. Blogger Robert Alai this week published a story claiming that Chacha had been sacked by General Manager Linus Kaikai for being ‘crippled and unproductive’.
Richard Chacha was left paralyzed from the waist down, after a 2012 accident which also saw Linus Kaikai hospitalized for a while.
Together with fellow journalists Ephantus Mwangi, Frida Kirema and Emmanuel Talam; Chacha and Kaikai were heading to a fundraiser in Narok. He was the driver of the car they were in.
While confirming he’s still at Nation Media, Chacha posted on social media, “Hey guys, I am still at work… I will let you know if and when I am leaving.”
Alai had also claimed that Debarl Ainea has also been shown the door as part of the cost saving measures.
