In his speech, GOtv Kenya general manager Simon Kariithi said his company was committed to investing in local productions.
As a leading funder of local productions in Kenya, we are proud to announce a half-a-billion-shilling investment in 14 original local shows to be produced and broadcast in the year 2017-2018.
They will air exclusively on Maisha Magic East, which is the only show in the country with 100 per cent local content,” said Mr Kariithi.
Kenyan actors, rejoice! Pay TV service provider MultiChoice says it will commit Sh500 million to production of 14 original local productions this year.
During a summit held at Local Production Ltd studios in Nairobi on Tuesday — and attended by over 200 local producers, content developers and students — three productions were screened to whet the appetite of the audience.
