Host For The BAKE Awards, BAKE Awards, #BAKEAwards, Bonney Tunya, CNBC Africa

Meet Bonney Tunya, our host for the winner’s gala event

We are gearing up for the BAKE Awards Gala event to be held at Radisson Blu on Saturday, 14th May 2016. This is the first time we will be using the venue and we look forward to having a wonderful experience with our hosts for this year.

As with previous events, we take it upon ourselves to ensure that everything is in order. And who to determine the success of an event better than the host.

The task of hosting this year’s awards will fall squarely on the able shoulders of one Bonney Tunya. Bonney Tunya is CNBC Africa’s (East Africa) Anchor. He has a wealth of experience moderating high-level financial and economic debates like the World Economic Forum – ‘Road to Davos’ Debates and presenting real-time African financial news. He is known to provide actionable market information, insightful and solution-seeking interviews and well researched features through CNBC Africa which broadcasts to 48 countries across the African continent.

Prior to joining CNBC Africa, Bonney served as the business and general news anchor with the Kenya Television Network (KTN) hosting two daily television news shows. Before KTN, he was a rapporteur and content generator for the Picha Mtaani – UNDP project in addition to hosting and producing the “Wednesday Night Live” show. Together with his work at CNBC Africa, Bonney also contributes to Forbes Africa magazine.

Bonney studied Journalism at the United States International University (USIU) Kenya, and is an alumni of the Reuters News Foundation, The Global Short Film Project and the African Media Initiative.

We look forward to a successful evening where the best of bloggers will be crowned in appreciation of the good work they put in and for their contribution in creation of good content online.
