Kenyans were left impressed after watching a Swahili report from Larry Madowo on BBC in which he spoke effortlessly, proving yet again that he’s a really talented journalist.

Uber Strike

Madowo was in Kenya to report about the recent Uber strike and how drivers have been having a hard time trying to make ends meet.
