I wake-up at 6:30a.m. After some physical exercise I bathe. I then have breakfast as I listen to news.
At 7:45, I leave home for office. It takes me about 15 minutes from Remera to the office. I check my mail first in case we have invitations to cover certain events.
At 8a.m, I conduct a 15 minute meeting with the journalists.
The meeting involves assigning and getting journalists’ contributions for the day’s schedule. Immediately after, I take on administrative duties to ensure things are alright at the station.
I also attend to visitors and respond to urgent mails.
Between 1 and 2p.m, depending on my work load, I have lunch. I then follow what we air to take note and put right if something is not right.
I usually leave office at 6p.m though I might leave earlier or later than that. By 8p.m, I am home with my family with whom I interact and also watch and listen to news.
At around 9, I have supper. I never get to bed immediately. I first do some reading or writing until 11p.m. I normally say a prayer before I head to bed.
