Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore has passed away after a nearly 2 years long battle with cancer. The businessman steered the company from its lowest point when he got his job and grew it to Kenya’s biggest telecoms company.

The Guyanese-born British businessman died after battling with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)- the cancer of the blood. He was diagnosed back in October 2017 in the United Kingdom and took medical leave. He came back to Kenya in July 2018 and continued medication in different hospitals including the Agha Khan Hospital.

Back in November, the shrewd businessman had been receiving support from well-wishers, family, and friends. Among those who had promised to go see him were distinguished Classic Radio presenter Maina Kageni.

Bob Collymore, however, exposed him for being a liar as he never really went to see him. In his words:

“Tell Maina if he is watching this, thanks for not visiting me. In December Maina said I am going to come and visit you, bro. He never turned up,” Bob told Jeff Koinange during an interview.

He went on to say that even after coming back to the country, Maina was supposed to call him but never did.

“He told me that he was going to call me tomorrow morning that is yesterday. So I  skipped the gym but the guy never did. So when you call, Maina, I am not answering so do not bother,” Collymore said.

During the time he acknowledged the support of his wife, Airtel boss and Caroline Mutoko among many others.

Let’s hope Maina eventually went to visit him before his demise.
