A leaked letter has exposed infighting within MediaMax Networks Limited - mostly between the staff and some of the top managers at the media house. Journalists and other employees at DSM Place expressed dissatisfaction with how the media station was run, revealing that some of their careers had gone down the drain. MediaMax staff called for a leadership shake-up at the media station to address their grievances. Besides struggling to retain staff, some media houses implemented salary cuts and changed business models to focus on digital-first news. To curb job losses, the government and Media Council of Kenya (MCK) pledged to remit Ksh1.15 billion owed to media Houses by the state.
