You will for sure agree with me that Willis Raburu has risen the corporate ladders so fast and as well had many achievement within less than 3years he has been at Citizen TV. Apart from starting a political satire Truthmeter, the award winning journalist has won awards for ‘Road accidents’, ‘The Deadly Waters’ and a story from Rwanda; ‘ A Journey of Resilience.’
Though Raburu attributes his success to God and to his mentors, he revealed to Career Point in an earlier interview by Dorcas Karuana of how he has made it to be a brand and this is probably what
has made him who he is.
Here is what he had to say in the interview.
1. Good work ethic. My father taught me this while he worked as a Provincial Commissioner. I believe in diligence, team work and excellence. In Citizen, the team has helped me grow; for instance, Abdi Osman taught me the hamburger theory, where you start the story with back ground, then give the meat and end with what is expected. Franklin Wambugu, Mercy Oburu and Peter Opondo have been of great help among others.

2. Excellence. My boss Farida Karoney, the Editorial director, taught me that success is not an event, it's a way of life. People should know me not because I work for citizen but because of the way I use the platform given to me. I let my work should speak for me.
3. Working smart. To go where nobody has gone, you need to do what nobody else has done. In Citizen, interns are not allowed to voice for their stories, however I did my first voice to camera within the second week as an intern. Thanks to my camera man Dennis Ocheing who encouraged me to do it and it did wonders.
