Raila, Uhuru, Ruto lead country in mourning THE DEATH of Bob Collymore, Safaricom CEO

July 1, 2019 3 Comments

Kenya woke up to sad news of the demise of Safaricom CEO, Bob Collymore.

He died on Monday morning at his home in Nairobi after battling Leukemia for a long period.

He took a nine-month medical leave in late 2017 to undergo cancer treatment in England and returned to Kenya in July 2018.

Being a person who socialized with everyone, celebrities stormed social media with condolences, sharing the great moments they had with him.

My condolences go out to the friends and family of Mr Bob Collymore as well as the entire Safaricom fraternity.
Bob served our country with dedication and sustained us as a communication hub in Africa. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
