Renowned Kenyan news anchor Swaleh Mdoe has captured the attention of netizens with a touching Ramadan message shared on Citizen TV.
Despite rumors swirling about his alleged suspension from the station, Swaleh’s message of peace and forgiveness resonates deeply with viewers as the holy month commences.
In a heartfelt video broadcasted on Citizen Digital, Swaleh extended warm wishes to his fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, marking the start of Ramadan with a call for spiritual reflection and reconciliation.
He emphasized the significance of Ramadan as a time for Muslims to repent their sins and draw closer to the divine.
“What a joy it is to witness another Ramadan,” Swaleh began, his words imbued with sincerity and humility. “This is a sacred time for us to reflect on our actions, seek forgiveness, and foster a spirit of compassion and unity.”
Addressing the swirling rumors of his suspension, Swaleh remained composed, choosing instead to focus on the essence of Ramadan.
He urged his audience to embrace forgiveness, extending it to both those who may have wronged them and those whom they may have wronged.
“Let us not harbor grudges in our hearts,” he urged, his voice carrying a sense of conviction. “Instead, let us open our hearts to forgiveness and understanding. This is the true essence of Ramadan.”
Mdoe allegedly faced suspension after his absence from the 1:00 pm bulletin on Tuesday, January 23rd.
Insights from source revealed that Mdoe had taken time off for a medical check-up on the day he was expected to anchor the daytime bulletin.
However, his failure to inform his supervisor beforehand led to the management’s decision to suspend him from on-air appearances.
Upon his return to work the following day, Mdoe was summoned by his superiors, who issued the indefinite suspension.
