On Saturday morning, veteran journalist Dominic Odipo, a former business editor with the Standard newspaper, passed away at his home in Riruta.
Odipo had been recovering at home after being admitted to hospital following a series of health complications.
According to his sister Antonina Odipo, the journalist died between 10:30 am and 11:00 am. The body is currently at Montezuma Monalisa Funeral Home on Mbagathi Way, but the family is making arrangements to move it to Chiromo.
Odipo, a key figure in the second liberation movement, suffered a stroke in 2013, which was a complication of a previous stroke in 2009. This led to his hospitalization and eventually, his passing.
During his illustrious career, Odipo worked as a business writer for The Weekly Review and ran a weekly column in the Standard newspaper until 2013, when he became ill.
Funeral arrangements are currently underway, with the family making the necessary preparations.
