Construction of KBC Studio Mashinani, Kitu County nears completion

Construction of the KBC Studio Mashinani in Kitu County is nearing completion. Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) Director Charles Mulila inspected the works and said the Audio–Visual recording facility will be launched in a few weeks’ time.

He said that KBC will work closely with organised youth, church and women groups to ensure successful implementation of the project. Ongoing works include inspecting installations of the Corporation in Lower Eastern region.

He also thanked President Uhuru Kenyatta for funding the turnkey project that is helping musicians and creatives in general.

 “KBC will promote the music produced in these studios through our national and regional radios,” he said.

Free access to audio-recording services

In July 2020, KBC had ground-breaking ceremonies in Kitui and Murang’a aimed ensuring youths across Kenya access audio-recording services at no cost. In March 2017, five studios in Nairobi, Machakos, Mombasa and Kisumu were launched by ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru in Komarock, Machakos County.

KBC Studio Mashinani is a brainchild of President Kenyatta to nurture music talent, upcoming audio and video producers countrywide. In current financial year, the Corporation is expected to commence the construction of new studios in Kisii and Eldoret. President Kenyatta is keen to ensure all counties have youth empowerment centres to percolate earnings in the grassroots.
