Media mogul and Royal Media Services (RMS) founder and chairperson SK Macharia revealed on Saturday how he met the company's longest-serving Managing Director Wachira Waruru.

According to SK Macharia, Waruru was serving in a senior position at the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) before he was appointed RMS Managing Director and was persuaded by his late brother to join the company.

Speaking at the funeral service for Waruru's brother in Nyeri County on Saturday, Macharia shared that he had known the MD from his time at KBC and had recognised him as a potential candidate for the role when he founded Royal Media Services in 1996.

However, it was Macharia's late brother, Kanja Waruru, who played a pivotal role.
