PART 1

Seasoned scriptwriter-producer, Kiboi Peter Kuria, is among a premium crop of storytellers who’ve been bringing characters to life on our screens post-2005. I stress this point in time because it marks Kenya’s TV market’s steady surge in quality local content production. A string of entertaining programs hit the TV circuit post 2005 and it was evident a lot of preparation went into their creation. Thanks to guys like Kiboi, shows such as Tahidi High, Lies That Bind, Mali, Block D, Changes et al were evolutionary to our industry.

It’s the kind of pride that stems from countless encounters you have enjoyed in their presence and the countless ideas that have floated around you. It’s the pride that is deep-seated, which is why I write this now. Because even after it’s out I will still feel this pride.

If I ever achieve my dream of producing “The Kenyan Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” you can rest assured that Muthoni Ndonga will be in the pilot. With hits such as “Nai ni ya Nani” and “Vile Inafaa” she’s arguably Kenya’s biggest female hip hop artiste- so that’s the famous bit covered.
