Larry Madowo's BBC Colleagues Unveil Special Farewell Gift [VIDEO]

Media personality, Larry Madowo, could not hide his joy after receiving a unique gift from his colleagues at BBC Africa during his farewell. 

In a 24-second clip that was shared by Peter Mwangangi, Madowo is seen holding up a card that is shaped like a cat while laughing.

When he was the host of The Trend, which airs on NTV, the 32-year-old newscaster had a segment where he aired funny cat videos.

As such, the card that he was given by his colleagues brought back many memories.

Madowo, however, claimed that one of the people who gifted him the card used to select the videos for him.

"You guys are talking about cat videos but I used to work with this guy on them. Joesph, I have not forgotten. 

"He is the one who used to select the cats. When he was in Uganda, he had like 4 cats. He had no friends, just cats," he remarked.

On Monday, Madowo announced his temporary exit from BBC Africa where he works as a Business Editor. 

He noted that he only had three weeks left before he took time off to be a full-time student at Columbia University in New York. 

The former NTV news anchor was lucky to be chosen among the beneficiaries of the 44th Knight-Bagehot fellowship in Business and Economics at the Columbia Journalism School.

The program, which runs for one year,  is awarded to individuals with four-year experience in business journalism.

Madowo did not specify whether he will be back with the British broadcaster after completing the fellowship.
