Imani Radio

Imani Radio is a Christian station in Kitale, broadcasting on 88.8 FM to listeners across Trans Nzoia, the North Rift and Western Kenya. It went on air on 4 May 2005 as a partner ministry of Faith Radio in the United States. Imani is Swahili for faith.

The station makes two claims about its own history. It calls itself the first Christian station in Western Kenya, and says it was the first radio signal of any kind to reach the Pokot and Turkana pastoral communities. Those are the station's descriptions, not independent findings, but they explain the audience it set out to serve: pastoralist communities in remote areas as well as farming towns around Kitale.

Its American partner, Faith Radio, is a Christian broadcaster based in Florida. The Kenyan station's licence is held locally, by Imani Radio and T.V. Ministries Ltd, according to the Communications Authority of Kenya register.

Programming is gospel music and Christian teaching. It is said to broadcast in English and Swahili, though the station has not confirmed this. We have not found a current presenter line-up. A frequency of 98.8 FM in Kitale is sometimes given, but 88.8 is the one the station itself uses.
