President William Ruto has condoled with the family of veteran TV news anchor Catherine Kasavuli who died on Friday.
In his condolence message to Kasavuli's family, Ruto described the late TV legend as "a cheerful, articulate and intelligent news anchor who took to television with unprecedented flair".
"Her pleasant smile, clear steady voice, and elegance made her a welcome presence and reassuring bearer of news to Kenyan living rooms for decades," the President said.
The President said that when Kasavuli ruled the TV screens, countless Kenyans watched her with great admiration and many children grew to emulate her.
"Today, Kasavuli's legacy endures, most notably in the distinctive crisp, fluent and articulate elocution we are all accustomed to in Kenyan broadcast anchoring," Ruto said.
"Let us therefore celebrate the life of a talented pioneer who famously excelled in her profession, entrancing the nation with her talent and extraordinary poise."
I pray that God comforts her family in this time of mourning and that her soul rest in eternal peace, Ruto said.
Kasavuli died on Friday after a long battle with cancer.
