In the wake of blossoming Kenyan photojournalists like Michael Muite and Boniface Mwangi [the first Kenyan to be
named CNN Africa Photojournalist of the year (2008)], one man left an
indelible mark in the world of photojournalism. Mo paved way for this form of
journalism in the country having been a great TV news cameraman and his coverage of the Ethiopian Famine along with BBC reporter, Michael Buerk.

Born on 29 August 1943 in Eastleigh, Nairobi; Mo will always be remembered as the most decorated news cameraman of all time. Incredibly,
at age 13 he was contributing for the then Tanganyika Standard
newspaper and covering the East African Safari Rally. A few years
later, his work was featuring in international newspapers that include the likes of Reuters, BBC, and Visnews.
