Before launching his radio career, Lotan Salapei worked as a Programmes Officer with the Rwandan League for the Protection and Defence of Human Rights. Reflecting on his career shift, Salapei shared in a past interview.
“I was doing human rights for an organisation in Rwanda. I was the country’s lead for the organisation. 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,”
