Andrew Kibe has worked as a presenter on local Kenyan channels. He quit Media and focused on his YouTube channel where he airs views that tend to split public opinion.
Other Kenyans have been banned before. The comedian Flaqo suffered a similar fate. However, he went through YouTube’s appeal process and recovered his channel.
