Kameme FM presenter and comedian, Benson Gathungu, launched his own media house on Monday, November 1.
Gathungu, also known as Muthee Kiengei Wa Watori, unveiled Enchipai TV, a vernacular Maasai television station. In attendance were his family, friends, Maa audience and clergy drawn from various churches.
According to the presenter, the TV station that was opened and registered in June 2021, is one of his greatest milestones.
“It was once a dream… it’s valid,” he wrote on his social media pages.
Gathungu further encouraged investors and the youth to remain motivated in pursuit of their goals.
“When a man is born, greatness is placed in us, but more so dreams and ambitions. It is evident that no matter where you come from, your background or your race, you can be positioned by God in his own will and timing."
“We are thankful and in God, we trust,” he stated.
His friends and followers were quick to laud him for the launch, some praising him for creating job opportunities thus contributing to the country's economic growth.
“You are a blessed man of God. From today, people will watch the first Maa speaking TV from their homes. The job opportunities you have given to our most talented youth is a precious gift. The project must succeed. You have set a very high bar for anyone who wants to borrow a leaf. This can only get better. Congrats!” one Diana Daido commented.
“Keep soaring to new and greater heights,” Ngoni Olematope added.
In November 2020, Gathungu was ordained as a pastor at African Independent Pentecostal Churches of Africa (AIPCA). He was also appointed to serve as the parish minister at the church’s Gatundu, Kiambu branch.
