17-year-old starts his own radio station in abandoned water kiosk in Homa Bay

A 17-year-old form three student from Mbita Town has surprised his community after he innovated a radio transmitter and a station using locally sourced materials like old motherboards and other electronic gadgets.

Steve Biko Odhiambo uses the radio transmitter that he assembled by himself to pass educational messages and to entertain the community in Suba. The student at Fr Tilen Secondary School says radio fans in his community have been tuning their radios to listen to his station known as Konzer FM which covers a radius of 26 kilometers.
