New Catholic Radio Stations for Mombasa and Malindi


The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) through Waumini Communications is looking to set up two Catholic Community Radio Stations in the Coastal Region.

According to Waumini Communications Managing Director David Omwoyo, the two stations will support the Archdiocese of Mombasa and the Diocese of Malindi to promote peace-building and local development as well as provide a platform to counter the rampant radicalization of youth in the coastal region.

Mombasa Archbishop, Martin Kivuva and Bishop of the Diocese of Malindi, Emanuel Barbara have both welcomed the initiative and termed it, “long-overdue.”

Bishop Barbara affirmed that radio will be a useful platform to promote peace and unity which are critical elements of economic development in the region. The Bishop said the radio station will give more attention to local development and will serve as a platform for local people’s participation in the life community.

The radio projects are envisaged in the Waumini Communications strategic plan 2016- 2020. The plan foresees Kenya having 20 Catholic radio stations across the Country.
