KBC Radio Taifa on 88.6 FM
KBC Radio Taifa is the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation's national Swahili service, for listeners across the country who want news, public information and entertainment in Kiswahili.
It is one of the longest-running services on Kenyan radio. It dates back to 1953, when African Broadcasting Services started programmes for African listeners in Kiswahili and other languages. Radio itself had come to Kenya in 1924. At independence in 1964 the broadcaster became the Voice of Kenya, and it went back to the KBC name in 1989.
Generations of listeners grew up on Radio Taifa voices. The best known was Leonard Mambo Mbotela, whose long-running programme Je, Huu Ni Ungwana? aired on the service. He died in February 2025.
