Before starting his radio career, Lotan Salapei worked as a Programmes Officer with the Rwandan League for the Protection and Defence of Human Rights, where he led the country’s program. His passion for media, however, led him to leave his role in Rwanda in December 2017 and return to Kenya in search of radio opportunities.

“I was doing human rights for an organization in Rwanda. I was the country’s lead for the organization. I always wanted to be in media, and in December 2017, I quit my job and came back to Kenya on January 4, 2018, and started finding a way out to be on air. Homeboyz took a chance on me, and I’m here,” Salapei shared in a past interview.

Until his departure, Lotan Salapei was the host of the station’s Drive Show alongside Kerry Martin. His recent co-host, Jakes Nyanjom, who recently joined the station, will now take over the show.
