Lang'ata Mp Phelix Odiwuor aka Jalang'o has mourned the death of producer Kibwana Onguso who died today.

Kibwana made a name for himself back in the 90s as the man behind popular TV shows being aired at KBC like Tausi, Tahamaki, and Kisulisuli.

In the early 2000s, he produced Papa Shirandula and Inspekta Mwala while working at Royal Media station Citizen.

He has been hailed as a man who not only embodied professionalism but also mentored many modern-day TV producers.

Some of the people he mentored in the entertainment field decided to pay their last respects to the legend by sending heartful messages to the family and posting him on their social media pages.

Below are some of the messages that were sent.
