Kenya’s social media awards
The Kenya Social Media Awards are an annual event that celebrates the growing influence by and through social media in Kenya. “As Kenya continues to make strides in digital revolution, the role of social media influencers and enthusiasts has become a key component in business growth, government concerns and community development,” the organisation said.
Bamba TV joined in the congratulations on December 16, 2021, describing SOMA as “an award that recognises men and women in Kenya who made a mark and contribution on social media and digital platforms” and congratulating Dennis Itumbi, Terence Creative and “Tea Master Edgar Obare”, in a post on Facebook.
