Bomet man earns income repairing radios

John Kenduiwa, 60, has been repairing radios for 32 years

John Kenduiwa, 60, has been repairing radios for 32 years in Mulot Sunset Township, Bomet County. At ten, his love for radios was ignited by his neighbour who used to repair electronic devices at his house. He acquired the skills by observing and learning from him.
