Mediamax Announces Mass Firing of Staff

Mediamax Announces Major Layoffs Amid Business Restructuring

Mediamax Network Limited has announced a large-scale layoff, putting dozens of journalists at risk of losing their jobs. This follows the company’s issuance of a redundancy notice to its employees as part of a major internal shake-up.

The notice, obtained by Newshub.co.ke and signed by Mediamax CEO Ken Ngaruiya, explained that the company is undergoing strategic restructuring and reorganisation.

According to the management, this move is meant to enhance operational efficiency in the face of changing market trends and business challenges.

The media house cited several reasons for the restructuring, including a tough economic environment, rapid changes in digital technology, declining advertising revenue, and a shrinking client base. These factors have made it increasingly difficult for the company to operate at its current capacity.

“Mediamax Network Limited is carrying out this restructuring to boost efficiency and effectiveness in light of ongoing shifts in the media landscape,” the notice stated. “These changes are driven by digital transformation, new innovations, changing client expectations, and harsh new government regulations affecting the media sector.”

The company further blamed the financial pressure on continued problems facing the broader media industry.

These include the government’s delay in paying media-related bills, the national government’s decision to give advertising contracts to just one media outlet, and the strict rules limiting advertisements related to betting and gambling.

Mediamax has given affected employees a one-month notice starting July 15, 2025. This means the final decisions about the status of those employees will be made by August 15, 2025.

Despite the looming job cuts, the company hinted that not all employees would be let go. Some may be retained after the restructuring, which will involve a detailed staff review and job optimisation process.

“This process may involve changes in how departments operate, reducing the number of employees, or merging certain roles within the company. Unfortunately, such adjustments could result in job losses across different departments,” the management explained.

The company promised that the redundancy process would be conducted in full compliance with Kenya’s Employment Act of 2007, specifically Section 40, as well as the terms outlined in each employee’s contract.

Those declared redundant will be entitled to lawful compensation, including salary for the days worked, pay for the notice period, payment for any unused leave days, and severance pay calculated at 15 days for every year they have worked at the company.

However, any outstanding debts owed to the company by these employees will be deducted from their final payouts, as is standard practice.

Mediamax Network Limited owns and runs several popular media outlets across Kenya. These include K24 TV, Kameme TV, Radio Milele, Kameme FM, Mayian FM, Emoo FM, Msenangu FM, Meru FM, and the People Daily newspaper.

This development marks yet another sign of the difficult times facing traditional media houses in Kenya as they struggle to stay afloat in a rapidly changing and highly competitive media environment.
