Leonard Mambo Mbotela has assumed his office as a member of the National Heroes Council.

This is after he was sworn in on Monday.

The event was carried out under the auspices of Chief Justice Martha Koome at the Supreme Court buildings.

“Witnessed the swearing-in of Leonard Mambo Mbotela as a member of the National Heroes Council following his appointment last month,” she said.

Further, the CJ stated that Kenya can build a new culture and practice of identifying, celebrating and supporting “our unsung heroes and heroines when they’re still with us.”

“That is the only modest way through which we can show appreciation for their heroic acts,” she said.

Mbotela, popularly known for his “Je, huu ni ungwana?” segment, was appointed by Sports CS Amina Mohammed to serve as a member of the council in August 2022.

He will serve as a member for a period of three years with effect from August 5, 2022.

Meanwhile, members of the Copyright Tribunal were also sworn into office at the Supreme Court Building.

They will serve for a period of five years.
