Mercy Muroki Career

Mercy Muroki Carrer

Mercy Muroki’s career has moved through three main lanes: social policy research, national public service roles, and broadcast and print media. 

Early Work in Social Policy Research

Mercy Muroki built her early professional profile in policy research and poverty-focused work.

She joined The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) while studying for her MSc, and the CSJ describes her as part of its team from 2020. 

CSJ profiles also describe her work in social policy research, with a focus on practical policy ideas and analysis. Over time, CSJ has listed her in senior capacity roles, and one CSJ page currently lists her as Development Director.

National Public Service Role in 2021

In 2021, Muroki became one of the commissioners on the UK government’s Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities.

Media coverage at the time highlighted that she was one of the younger appointees, which added to her public visibility and positioned her as a regular voice in national debates on race, equality, and public policy.

Print Commentary and Columnist Work

Alongside her policy work, Muroki developed a profile as a newspaper columnist.

Several public biographies describe her as a columnist at The Sun, and this is often mentioned as part of her mainstream media footprint. 

Some profiles also note she has written opinion pieces for other outlets, but the most consistently cited ongoing role is The Sun column.

GB News Presenter and On-air Roles

Muroki became a television presenter in 2021, when she joined GB News around the channel’s launch period.

“Brazier & Muroki”

On GB News, she co-hosted “Brazier & Muroki” with Colin Brazier. Public listings and episode pages describe it as a weekday morning show, built around live discussion of headlines and politics.

“To the Point”

Later in 2021, “Brazier & Muroki” was replaced by “To the Point”, which she co-hosted with Patrick Christys.

Leaving GB News

According to her public statement referenced in major profiles, she left GB News on October 27, 2022.

Government Policy Fellow and Advisory Work

Muroki’s most clearly dated government role in official records is her position as a Policy Fellow to the Minister for Women and Equalities in the Equality Hub. The role runs from January 2023 to March 2024.

Trustee and Board-level Roles

Public UK records also show Muroki holding formal positions connected to organisations.

Companies House listings show her as a director for The Geffrye Museum Trust and also list her as a director of MERCY MUROKI LTD. These are formal appointments, and they add context to her work beyond TV and government roles.
