The announcement was made today, October 16, at the East African media stakeholders event for the AMVCA 2016 which was held at the Sarova Stanley Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya.
The event had media stakeholders from Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya in attendance.
Reacting to her emergence as the head of the panel, Njoki thanked the organizers of the award and promised that the panel will do a thorough job in ensuring that the best movies from the African continent will be rewarded at the awards.
She charged East African filmmakers to put in their works for the awards and take their counterparts in West Africa headlong to compete for the categories.
She said: “East Africa should put pressure so that we can use Swahili to export our culture.”
Speaking on the criteria of movies that will be selected for the awards, Njoki said: “Movies that should celebrate African culture that shows who we are.
“Their stories should be unique, creative, genuine, have good technicalities and flows well.”
