Larry Madowo Lands BBC Job ...God is Good

Madowo set to  work for the UK government-owned media entity, BBC.

Madowo is set to join the BBC as Business Editor for Africa, a position that was recently advertised.

The new job comes a relief to Madowo, whose alleged frigid relationship with Nation Media Group’s management and editorial leadership forced him out, with Madowo citing lack of editorial independence at the media house.

Madowo’s woes began after covering Raila Odinga’s ‘swearing in’ ceremony at Uhuru Park on January 30th, defying a government directive to give the event a media blackout.

He was forced to stay in the office alongside anchor Ken Mijungu and the then Managing editor Linus Kaikai to avoid arrest by law enforcement officers.
