The Eye
Behind the Lens

I'm David Njenga Githiri — known across broadcast floors as Kinyast. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, I am a Senior Sports Broadcast Cameraman and Outside Broadcast (OB) Operations Specialist with over two decades of live production experience.

From the roar of 60,000 fans at an Africa Cup of Nations final to the precision of a FIFA World Cup Qualifier, from the scale of the Asian Youth Games in Bahrain to the ceremony of a Presidential Inauguration — I have been the trusted eye in the most demanding broadcast environments across three continents.

My career was forged through 13 years inside Multichoice/SuperSport Kenya — building deep institutional broadcast knowledge — before taking my skills to the international stage with BBC World, GRUP Media Pro, and the world's biggest sporting events.
