This is coming after an apparent fallout between Larry Madowo and his employer after they refused to publish an article he had written. He went ahead to submit the article to CNN which published it.

This week, the @dailynation refused to print my column for the first time in nearly 4 years.

The irony aside, the same piece is now published on CNN https://t.co/C01kj61tL9

Larry Madowo has been largely seen as pro opposition with many of his detractors and government supporters saying he is often used by the opposition to push the opposition's propaganda and smear the government.
He has denied these allegations saying he does not support either side and is only doing his job as a journalist.
The surprise announcement by Larry Madowo puts him in an awkward position putting into consideration the fact that he still works for NTV which is also under the Nation Media Group that he has publicly disagreed with.
