Former Radio Africa Group CEO Patrick Quarcoo.

“When I started Radio Africa Group in 2000, my vision was to create a platform that could inform, inspire, and connect people across Kenya and the continent. Thanks to your hard work, dedication, and support, we have grown from a single-frequency radio station to a thriving group of six influential stations with over 40 transmitters across Kenya, with an expansion into Nigeria, a newspaper, and a significant digital presence,” Quarcoo stated.

He further affirmed that he was confident that the new leadership would drive changes in the media firm with the same commitment they have held before.

“I am confident that the new leadership team will drive the needed changes with the same passion and commitment that we have always upheld. They are well-equipped to take the company forward, leveraging our strong foundation to achieve even greater success,” remarked Quarcoo.
