Kenya in particular finds itself in an inflection point due to accessibility and affordability of internet services. Over the past 3 years there has been a big shift in consumption patterns and social media continues to disrupt the industry. Ramah has crafted a niche for himself and bridges emergent media with traditional broadcast to re-tell the African business narrative. With the right support and organisational direction he is bound to make waves at the intersection of technology and media."

"When I first listened to Ramah doing the Radio News at Radio Africa, I knew then, as one who had been on Radio before that this was a name that was bound to shake the airwaves. He did, and his move to KTN created a whole new level of Broadcast Journalism, something we have not seen in Kenya since ZainVerjee left for CNN. His unrivalled self-confidence, strong poise, ease of questioning relays how much work he puts into research and preparation before his hard hitting interviews and in depth analysis, covering a wide range of issues with a strong focus on Politics and Business.
