The Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) has thrown a party for long-serving media personality Bonnie Musambi who is leaving his role to focus on politics.
Musambi alias ‘Nzeve Nzau’, the top presenter who served for 14 years, did his last show on February 9 before quitting to focus on his bid for Kitui Central MP seat.
It was his dream to be a news presenter but not his parents’, he says: “My dad alitaka nikuwe mwalimu, my role model is Mzee Lenard Mambo Mbotela.”
He studied journalism at Mombasa Polytechnic and graduated in 2007. He first set foot in KBC during his attachment back in February 19, 2007 and later came back in 2008 before being fully employed.
“I want to thank KBC which has helped me to create employment to people of Kitui at large though my own radio station Sang’u fm that broadcasts from Nairobi. It has really mentored me now I’m going back to my people of Kitui,” He said.
“My Kitui central people approached me in 2018 to be their member of parliament and I accepted their request to serve them,” He added.
“The problem affecting people of Kitui is not water, bad roads nor education but it’s poverty and leaders not fulfilling their promises after being elected,” he said, promosing to bring change when elected.
One of the challenges he has encountered while working with KBC, he says, is waking up very early in the morning at 2 am, 3 am and sometimes 4 am for the past 14 years
He also thanked his wife in conclusion, terming her as the anchor of his life.
