Homeboyz radio has promoted youngstar Jakes Nyanjom, just a few days after the departure of Kerry Martin, who has been with the station for nearly a decade.
Kerry Martin announced his departure during his final show on Thursday, May 9th, and thanked his fans and colleagues for their support. Martin has been a regular on Homeboyz since 2015, engaging listeners alongside co-hosts Lotan Salapei and Mike Wachira.
While the station valued Kerry’s work, the Drive Show has found an ideal substitute named Nyanjom. The young star is also the son of former Radio Citizen presenter Joyce Gituro.
Interestingly, Jakes has been working at the station as an intern for 6 months and then had a training for 2 months. His promotion exemplifies hard work and consistency, especially in radio.
