KBC
Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) is set for a major revamp, with reports indicating that the national broadcaster will be relaunching in two-weeks time.
According to reliable sources, KBC has hired some of the country’s top journalists, among them veterans who graced the TV screens in the 90s.
Tom Mboya, Catherine Kasavuli, Badi Muhsin, Cynthia Nyamai and Fayaz Kureish are some of the veterans expected to grace the channel 1’s screen after the relaunch that is likely to happen on Monday, June 14, 2021.
Former K24 TV news anchors Shiksha Arora, Ahmed Juma Bhalo, Fred Indimuli, Nancy Onyancha and former NTV anchor Harith Salim have also been hired and will be unveiled during the re-launch.
Reports indicate that all the new anchors have been holding rehearsals and pairings at the station’s main studios in Nairobi.
This will force some of the current news anchors to be taken off air for the company’s regrouping, according to the sources.
Serious rehearsals commenced on Monday, June 7, and was attended by the company’s top management with the source noting that KBC invested in state of the art studio set to be unveiled on the relaunch day.
Muhsin used to read the news during Moi’s era, between 1980 and 2002 at KBC and is credited with aiding State House Spokesperson Kanze Dena’s career. Kasavuli, on the other hand, anchored news on Citizen TV while Mboya rose to a prominent position at K24 TV.
Arora, Indimuli and Onyancha, on the other hand, left K24 TV in June 2020 after falling out with the broadcaster’s management over pay cut. Ahmed Bhalo had left the Kijabe street-based station a few years earlier to pursue a career in corporate world.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
