Leonard Mambo Mbotela was an embodiment of positivity - an affable man, humorous, gracious, easy-going, and candid.

One can go on and on without an end.

Having worked with Mbotela at Voice of Kenya (VOK) and later Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), I saw a total human being, kind to the core, and a friend to all and sundry.

Our friendship would continue thereafter after leaving the national broadcaster, each one of us pursuing different goals.
