Citizen Digital App of RMS is Kenya's No. 1 news app, with more than 13 million monthly visitors. Viusasa is a VOD platform with more than 4 million monthly users.

To enhance market competitiveness., RMS is in an urgent need to upgrade the news platform and provide an exceptional audio visual experience for audiences.
