“31st July 2021 marks the end of a 21-year relationship. I joined the Radio Africa Group on the 8th of Aug 2000 as a news reporter and was soon promoted to be the head of News at Kiss 100.
2008 I launched Radio Jambo and was the station’s first Programme Controller. I pride myself in hiring @gidiogidi (who had no belief in himself as a presenter and accused me of “removing me from my PLUSH job at UNEP as an IT exec “for this”! 🤣 @ghost_mulee (who questioned me during his job interview whether he could really be a radio presenter hehe) @mwololobramwell, @fredarocho who I scouted while he was being a hooligan at Nyayo Stadium 🤣 (forgive me guys 🤣) and many others; and together we built an amazing brand.
In 2012 I launched the RAL Digital department (including @mpashogram an exciting project back then but it wasn’t exactly my cuppa tea 😜
2016 and Bamba Sport was born. This was an exciting project and I got to hire amazing talent like @IdaWaringa and @MukamiWambora (both of who had never been on TV and both of who have become sports broadcasting Superstars! I love you two ❤) @mohamedabu91 such a sports journalist extraordinaire 🙌🏽
Somewhere along the way (May 2006) I accidentally found myself hosting a Saturday sports show with @MainawaKageni. After MK ran away; I was joined by @RoyKaruhize and @KieniGithinji
While I respect all the opportunities I got at Radio Africa; most of them management opportunities; I never believed I was designed to push papers and write reports (✌🏾)
Being on Radio was and still is; my first… no; second love; after the Theatre (I love being on stage but that’s a story for another day)
I haven’t been on radio for a year and a half for reasons I choose not to share but in two weeks times I will be back on your airwaves; with the “Great Roy” and Kieni to continue to push the sport agenda (watch this space for details)
