Prominent radio presenter Tina Ogal on Monday, October 19, led a group of her colleagues in a courtesy visit to veteran Kitale-based billionaire Abrahim Ambwere and his wife at their home.
The visit came as the team conducted a roadshow, bringing their activities to the area before making a stop at the home of the renowned businessman.
Ambwere and his wife welcomed the media team during the visit, which offered the presenters an opportunity to interact with the couple away from their usual professional engagements.
Ogal, who is known for her work in radio, led the delegation as they paid their respects to the businessman and his family.
The visit also highlighted the interactions that can take place between media personalities and prominent figures within the communities they serve.
Roadshows often bring presenters closer to their audiences through public engagements, entertainment and community visits.
Such activities also provide opportunities for media teams to connect with individuals whose influence extends beyond their immediate professional circles.
Ibrahim Ambwere is a low-profile businessman and property tycoon from Western Kenya.
He is widely known as one of the region’s wealthiest self-made billionaires and gained national attention in the 1980s after offering to pay striking teachers’ salaries from his own pocket.
Despite his immense wealth, the Kitale-based businessman has always shied away from the public eye and never pursued a political career, despite serving as former chair of the Luhya Elders’ Council.
