President Uhuru Kenyatta’s family has made significant investments in a variety of industries, including real estate, agribusiness, hotels, and the media.
The stations linked with Mediamax networks, such as Kameme FM, K24 TV, and Milele FM, are registered under TV Africa Kenya Holdings, according to registration paperwork from Kenya’s Communications Authority.
According to Business Daily, TV Africa Kenya Holdings is linked to the Kenyatta family, who purchased the K24 and Kameme brands from David and Rose Kimotho.
Regional Reach Limited, which began as an advertising firm, was created by the couple. They began by purchasing 200 television sets, which were deliberately positioned in rural areas to highlight products during screenings.
With the establishment of Kameme FM, the company broke into the mainstream media.
With the introduction of Kameme FM, a vernacular radio station aimed at the rural people of Central Kenya, the corporation broke into the mainstream media.
The station, which aired music, news, and cultural education, was believed to have cost the couple Ksh40 million to establish up.
New Kayu FM
Rose Kimotho, has now started a new 91.0 FM radio station.
Kimotho’s former radio station was shut down because she defaulted on a bank loan with a local bank.
Kenyatta Family now owns a majority of Kameme, which is part of Media Max Limited.
Surprisingly, Rose Kimotho has chosen to work with former Kameme employees who were later terminated.
Moses Kanyira, Machangi man solo papa, Evans Wanyoike, and PM square are among them. Moses Kanyira shared the news in a video broadcast on his Facebook page.
Two years ago, veteran Citizen TV news anchor Jeff Koinange organized a surprise party for his former boss Rose Kimotho at the Emory Hotel in Kileleshwa with his friends and former coworkers.
The journalists arranged the surprise bouquet to honor Kimotho’s accomplishments and the changes she has brought to Kenya’s media industry.
Despite losing his job at CNN for dubious reasons, Koinange thanked Kimotho for giving him a job.
He went on to say that when he received a call to surprise his former boss, he knew he couldn’t say no.
The station’s launch follows that of Murang’a governor Mwangi Wa Iria Gichichio Fm.
