The Media Council of Kenya CEO Mr David Omwoyo has encouraged media workers to manage their finances prudently in order to secure their future. He says financial planning is key to ensuring better lives for media workers.
He spoke in Kisumu during the Senior Management Training on Media Relations and Management the Council held in partnership with the Retirements Benefits Authority in Kisumu. The partnership seeks to strengthen the wellbeing of journalists and media practitioners in Kenya for effective professional development.
“Personal finance is about meeting personal financial goals. To make the most of your income and savings, it is important to become financially literate so you can distinguish between good and bad and make smart financial decisions”, he said.
He added that the lack of understanding can lead to poor spending choices, increased debt and can affect professional growth.
“Becoming financially literate has immediate results and undoubted returns on investment”, said the MCK CEO.
