BBC journalist Larry Madowo has won the hearts of my after he was able to report live in very fluent Swahili.

The journalist who is among the most successful young reporters from Kenya is popularly known for his good reporting in English and has never reported in Swahili before.

Proving yet again that he’s a talented journalist Madowo impressed many by his flow and mastery of Swahili as he reported the Uber drivers woes on their remuneration.

And Kenyans had this to comment;

@NakitareJuma Mbona wakiharibu kiswahili,sema”Naiporomosha lugha”.
@OsmanOmayo Boooss that was superb. Ni sisi tu tunajua ile practice ulichapa
@Steve_Kimani Pongezi @LarryMadowo kwa kazi kuntu unayofanya @BBCAfrica @bbcswahili!
@Tonykinyash ati nakiporomosha? Hiyo sasa unajifanya
@ShemShujaa Didn’t know you could flow like that in Swahili. Great!
