SAUTI YA KAJIADO · OUR STORY

Rooted in Kajiado.
Open to every voice.

We are Bus Radio 99.9 FM. A community station, a meeting point for ideas, and a voice for the people who call Kajiado home.

Since 2017, we have brought local experiences into the conversation — in the studio, in the field, and on the airwaves in Swahili and Maa.

MORE THAN A RADIO STATION

A place for the
questions that matter.

Bus Radio is a community radio station and community-based organisation operating from Ildamat ward in Kajiado Town. Our slogan, Sauti ya Kajiado, means the Voice of Kajiado. It expresses the responsibility we have to the people we serve.

Our listeners bring different experiences to the airwaves: young people looking for opportunity, women shaping local development, pastoralists and farmers protecting their livelihoods, and residents asking questions about public decisions.

We make space for those perspectives through local news, civic education, interviews, culture, music and sport. Leaders and specialists join conversations that are connected to everyday life, while listeners contribute through calls, messages and social media.

OUR MISSION

Community media
with a purpose.

To advocate for peace, harmony, justice and development in Kajiado County through community media.

OUR VISION

A more inclusive
shared future.

To be the leading media platform advocating for inclusivity, justice, gender equality and transformative growth in Kajiado County and beyond.

Women & young people

We create room for participation, talent and new perspectives, with a focus on women, youth and people too often left out of public discussion.

Land & livelihoods

Farming, pastoralism and climate adaptation are part of everyday life in Kajiado. We take those experiences into our interviews and reporting.

04

Culture & connection

Swahili and Maa programming, local talent, music and sport help us share what makes our communities distinctive.
