Larry Madowo Mourns The Death Of His Big Brother, KTN’s Ahmed Darwesh.

Last night, the sad news of the transitioning of KTN’s Ahmed Dharwesh rent the air. 

 Among a host of Kenyan Tv personalities who mourned the death of Ahmed was Larry Madowo, who, judging from a post that he shared on his social media was pretty close to the late. 

He was more than a friend to Larry who eulogized him as: 

“Let me tell you about the Ahmed Darwesh I knew. Daru, as we all called him was a gentleman in every sense of that word. When I joined KTN in April 2008, he was already at the top of his game and down to earth to a fault. Before I had a car, Daru stayed around after anchoring the 7pm Swahili news until I had finished editing my 9pm business story so he could drop me home…“

Larry went on to reminisce of the happy times with his late friend, most notably his visit to Egypt with the late. He described the late as a ‘compassionate and funny man who was a gift to broadcast journalism”
