National television history was made in Kenya when a husband and wife team presented the news together for the first time.

Leading Swahili TV news presenter Lulu Hassan took to the air yesterday to present Citizen TV's Swahili-language bulletin alongside her husband Rashid Abdalla.

Ms Hassan presents the popular Nipashe Wikendi programme on what is Kenya's most popular TV station.

The pairing has been touted as the first ever married couple to present the news on Kenyan television.
