July 19, 2019, marked a difficult day for Jeff Koinange as he grappled with the loss of his close friend and brother, Bob Collymore.

Jeff, in an emotional interview with Kiss100, revealed that there are days he imagines Bob walking into the room and asking how they are doing.

'Hey guys, did you miss me?' Jeff recalled Bob saying, as he struggled to come to terms with his friend's passing.

Collymore, in his last interview on Jeff Koinange Live Show, had requested Jeff to host female executives who are shaking and moving the industry live on air.

Jeff fulfilled that request, hosting Serah Katusia, Managing Director at MediaCom, Jane Karuku the CEO Kenya Breweries Limited, and Rita Kavashe Managing Director at Isuzu East Africa, weeks after Collymore's send-off.

Jeff wants to leave a good legacy, saying, 'Ten or twenty years from now, I want people to say there was someone who used to say ooh my, and he made an impact on people's lives because life is never that serious.'
