Outspoken and assertive, Larry
Omondi Madowo is one of the most popular television presenters in Kenya. His
start at the business desk saw him grow his brand to become one of the most
sought after Kenyan journalists, but his was never an easy path. Born on July
14th 1987 in Siaya Kenya, Larry was raised in Kisumu where his love for the
church and priesthood began. This led to him joining the St Gabriel Seminary
School in Kisumu where he learnt all about the vocation. Back in the day his
key motivation was the belief that priest and bishops were the most influential
member of society. However by the time he was in form four, his priorities
shifted from the church as he got to learn about a whole new world away from
the village. Having lost his parents at a very young age, Larry and his young
sister were left under their aunt’s care. During this time he had to help in
his aunt’s tea and mandazi kiosk in Gikomba in a bid to raise funds for their
upkeep. His interest in broadcast and journalism saw him join the Daystar
University where he got basic skills in regards to journalism. Inspired by
Louis Otieno and Lilian Muli, Larry joined KTN as an intern on the News desk.
Over time, he was transferred to the Business desk where he horned his
journalism skills. A few years later, he worked for the CNBC in South Africa,
after which he came back to Kenya and joined NTV. With a knack for technology and
business Larry now works as a radio presenter, columnist, technology editor and
news anchor. Larry is quick to mention that he is single because he has not met
a woman who’s worth it. With an impressive repertoire and an inspirational
profile, Larry is a role model to many and for that reason he is our MCM today.
