Renowned Kenyan comedian, content creator, and media personality Francis Munyao, popularly known as MCA Tricky, has officially transitioned from the classroom to the corporate engineering world.
On August 19, 2026, the humorous entertainer celebrated a monumental professional milestone by collecting his official Certificate of Registration as a Graduate Engineer from the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK).
The achievement cements MCA Tricky’s reputation as one of Kenya’s most compelling examples of the balance between raw creative talent and intense academic discipline.
The media star, who rose to national fame performing on the Churchill Show with his signature street-boy persona, holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Kenyatta University.
He graduated in December 2019, paving the way for a multi-year journey toward official regulatory accreditation.
For years, skeptics viewed MCA Tricky’s engineering background as a secondary pursuit or a mere talking point for interview segments.
However, the physical collection of his registration badge from the EBK headquarters in Nairobi clears all doubts.
The comedian posted photos holding his new certificate, showcasing the reality of his dual life.
Celebrating the achievement, he shared “It was a great honor to receive my Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) Certificate of Registration.”
This professional milestone arrives on the heels of major shifts in the entertainer’s media journey. In July 2026, MCA Tricky announced his official exit from Mediamax Network Limited’s Milele FM, where he spent six successful years as a radio host.
While initial public speculation tied his departure to a potential relocation to Europe for a Master of Science in Mechatronics, later digital interviews clarified that he remains actively stationed in Nairobi, focusing on independent digital content creation.
The acquisition of his EBK certificate provides him with immediate regulatory clearance to practice engineering within the country.
Under current Kenyan law, practicing engineering or using the title without formal registration from the Engineers Board of Kenya constitutes a major legal offense.
