Challyh News has not been able to verify independently the authenticity of the letter.

The 80 year old veteran made a name in the ‘Jee, huu ni ungwana kweli?’ program in the state owned television and radio channels.

Notably, he was on duty when the 1982 coup plotters stormed Voice of Kenya (VoK), now KBC, studios and made him announce that the military had overthrown President Daniel Arap Moi’s government.

The coup was unsuccessful though.

Leonard Mambo Mbotela also worked for the Presidential Press Service (PPS) under the late President Moi’s regime.
