The celebrity culture in Kenya has evolved and there are now many public figures that are considered celebrities. Of course, the very definition of celebrity requires a broad definition seeing as the term is only beginning to become imminent in Kenya. Though Kenyan celebrities are definitely popular, it remains to be seen whether they really have the financial muscle to match the popularity. The figures are drawn from the entertainment and media circles.

Caroline Mutoko

Love her or hate her, the no nonsense Kiss 100 radio presenter knows her stuff well. She has been at Kiss FM for over a decade now and is one of the reliable presenters of the station. The former banker and UON alumni has been instrumental in signing up clients to advertise in the station. Although one may match her radio presentation, her emotional connection to brands is what makes clients sign up time and again. Sometimes she gets too entangled in the murky side which has seen her face some libel/defamation charges. She co presents the morning radio station with Jalang’o and Larry Asego.

Maina Kageni.

Maina Kageni has been in the media industry for slightly over a decade. He is currently the morning radio host at Classic 105 with Churchill. Classic 105 is a sister station to Kiss 100 radio Africa stable. He went to the UK for further studies but dropped out to engage on his own businesses. His big break came when he was the MC of the Shaggy coming to Kenya in 200/2001. He is known for his flamboyant lifestyle and regularly visits the US for holidays in Las Vegas. He is rumored to be driving a hummer. Seems the gamble of dropping out of school paid big time for the media star.

Jeff Koinange

Jeff Koinange of the “All Kenyan ………….Pause………….All the time” came to the limelight as a CNN reporter. He reported with the likes of Isha Sessay. He left CNN under controversial circumstances. He was a cabin crew member of an airline company where his voice caught the attention of travelers who urged him to enroll in a media college. He is currently a TV host with K24 and is famous for the “capital talk show” on the station. He has apparently patented the name of the show and can stage the name of the show at whichever TV station he joins.

Munene Nyagah

Munene Nyagah is best known for his infectious laugh. The former mason University trained teacher has been at the nation media group for over a decade. He was with nation Fm which rebranded to Easy FM. He currently co-presents with Marcus on Easy FM. He also hosts a Kiswahili radio program ‘Kiswahili Mbadala’ with Nuhu Bakari on QFM, a sister station of Easy FM.
