As Larry Madowo is out there making major moves in his career and elevating, Kenyans are not warming up to the new him.

Larry who works at BBC shared a snippet of a story he is working on about  schools trying to reopen in the middle of a pandemic.

In as much as the content was worth a listen, Kenyans were angered by the fact that he is slowly forgetting his roots. According to the comments on the video, he has acquired an accent and even changed the way his name is pronounced.
