Jared Benson Kangwana (born 6 January 1949) is a Kenyan businessman, lawyer, entrepreneur and the Chancellor of the Technical University of Kenya.[1]

Career

Kangwana lectured at Kenya School of Law starting in 1978. He later moved to the University of Nairobi and taught courses about corporate law. During this time, he established a private law firm.

Corporate leadership and entrepreneurship

In 1983, Kangwana was appointed Chairman of Kenya Times Media Trust. They acquired Nairobi Times, which was renamed Kenya Times and became a daily.

At that time, there was little locally produced content for television broadcast. To fill the void, Kangwana successfully negotiated commercial terms with CNN to receive their broadcast feed on KTN, a first in Africa.[2]
