It is one year since Comedian Papa Shirandula succumbed.

Well, the entertainment fraternity is currently celebrating the legend at Pride Inn Azure in Westlands.

Among the personalities he mentored was Comedian and radio Presenter Njoro.

In an exclusive interview with Mpasho.co.ke, the comedian was asked, 'What impact Papa had in his life?'

A teary Njoro said Papa lifted his life from scratch.

"He changed my life from a matatu tout to a landlord. That shows you the impact he had in my life, from zero to here. It can easily show the huge impact. From zero to here."

The actor further said that when Papa got him, he was not known like he is today.

"I was a nobody. Now I walk in and everyone knows me. My name changed from Ken Gechoya to Njoro. He transformed my life to success."

On the impact he hopes to do for others, Njoro said he wants to inspire other youth.

"I help the talented youths and I want them to also remember me for that."
