Special recognition of my work with BBC World Service
I'm also a presenter, the link below showcases one of the many programmes I've anchored. After taking the senior role of being in charge of Africa TV that is looking after English, French, Kiswahili and Somali TV programmes I did not present News as regularly as before but I played a crucial role of editorial lead on all the programmes.
