Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has proposed that the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication(KIMC) be renamed in honour of the late radio veteran Lenard Mambo Mbotela.

Speaking during Senate proceedings on Tuesday, February 25, the senator said that the school, which is one of Kenya's mighty media schools, should be renamed after the late veteran journalist Leonard Mambo Mbotela.

The senator affirmed that the renaming of the school will not only celebrate his illustrious media career but will also serve as an inspiration to young people aspiring to become media personnel. "We should name the Kenya Institute of Mass Communications here in Nairobi after Leonard Mambo Mbotela.

The institute together with its branches across the country should be renamed after him so that the young men and women who want to be journalists can go and learn how to be a good journalist," he proposed.
