Uhuru Mourns Late Journalist Njogu

President Uhuru Kenyatta has sent a message of condolence to the family of the late Radio Citizen journalist Robin Njogu, who passed away on Tuesday morning, March 16.

In his message of encouragement, the President lauded the late Njogu as a progressive journalist whose contribution to radio and online journalism has gone a long way in transforming the country’s media and communication sector.

“Robin was an excellent journalist who mentored many young people in the Fourth Estate. We will forever cherish his skills and expertise in mass media, especially in radio where he has left a huge mark of excellence,” the President said.

President Kenyatta remembered Njogu as an innovative, resourceful, and open-minded journalist whose contribution as a past member of the State House press corporation will be cherished forever.

“Robin always had a Midas touch in transforming media stations into great communication and entertainment outlets.

“My interactions with Robin during his time in the press corp were always enriching. He was a trusted and very effective member of the team,” the President recalled.

Days before, the late Njogu lost his mother, and Uhuru wished God’s comfort and fortitude to the family as they mourn the two departed souls.

The sad news of the journalist`s demise was first announced by CGTN journalist Saddique Shaban on social media in the late hours of Monday. It is believed that the journalist had succumbed to COVID-19 related complications.

Robin was a Managing Editor at RMS, where he was in charge of all the Radio Stations owned by the Royal Media.
