His resignation has come few days after 8 long serving columnists led a mass exodus resignation from NMG’s Daily Nation.
He is just among the many NTV top journalists in 2018 who have left work following a huge fallout with the top NMG managing team who seem to be supporting the controversial media censoring Jubilee government
Larry posted his message on Twitter
I leave @ntvkenya as I came: humbled & grateful.
The job was one of the great honours of my life. Thanks to everyone who watched, and to Nation for the privilege of the opportunity. I’m proud of my amazing colleagues & everything we accomplished. Farewell, my friends.

If Larry would still be in the media industry as an employee, he would likely work with an international media.

The #NMGExodus as some put it that it's a blessing in disguise for fresh talents I agree, however, let's not miss the bigger picture as to why they're leaving.
Indeed, young, innovative fellas will fill the void but will inherit the same censoring structures unless restructured. pic.twitter.com/CBZNsGvoFV
