Kamene has built a successful career in the media industry, creating a strong brand.
However, what many people may not know is that he holds a first degree in law from the University of Nairobi. Kamene revealed that his parents forced him to study the course, despite his love for journalism.
Why did Kamene Goro choose to work in advertising instead of working as a lawyer?
In a recent interview with the Mic Check Podcast, Kamene explained that he did not attend the Kenya School of Law (KSL) because he did not want to work in law.
Kamene also claimed that he chose not to work because he found his media career more rewarding.
According to Kamene, when he was employed as a radio presenter, he would earn about six times as much as his classmates who had joined law firms.
“I didn’t go to the Kenya School of Law (KSL). I didn’t want to be a practicing lawyer because when I got to the second year and we did the clinic, I was surprised. And when you look at the money side, it didn’t make financial sense because by the time I got into the media, most of my classmates were starting work, and I was getting about six to seven times what they were getting paid. I didn’t want to practice,” Kamene said.
Kamene Goro’s work plans
He also revealed that his goal is to become a lecturer at a law school and write laws that will govern the way the Kenyan media works.
“But my end is teaching, that’s why I want to learn a lot about theoretical law and the construction of laws. I want to write laws. I have been working on a project that should be a law that will define how the media in the digital space should work, but one of the problems is that the digital media in Kenya is moving forward very fast,” he said.
What did Kamene Goro say about working with Andrew Kibe?
During the same interview, Kamene shared his experience of working with Andrew Kibe during their time together at NRG Radio and Kiss FM.
The two became a power duo when they teamed up to host the popular NRG Radio Breakfast Club before moving to Kiss FM.
Kamene revealed that Kibe’s work ethic was exceptional, as he often arrived late and would take a 30-minute break every hour.
Kamene, who started the session alone at 12am, explained how he had to adapt to Kibe’s style, where he worked for about an hour every morning.

He also revealed that they earned the same salary at Kiss FM, with Kibe negotiating his salary when he first joined the station.
