President Ruto intervened after the late  Kasavuli's family sought help on her hospital bill.

President William Ruto has waived the medical bill for fallen news anchor Catherine Kasavuli.

The deceased had been hospitalised at the Kenyatta National Hospital where he lost the battle with cervical cancer.

The bill which had accrued to millions of shillings had become her family's headache as they embarked on her send-off arrangements.

However, with the intervention of the president, the burden has been lessened for the family.

On Saturday, January 7, KBC's senior anchor Jacob Kioria confirmed Ruto's hand in offsetting the bill the late Kasavuli incurred while at the hospital.

"Great thanks to our President who has waived the hospital bill incurred by my colleague Catherine Kasavuli. May her soul continue to rest in peace," said Kioria on Twitter.


Kasavuli died on December 30, 2022, while aged 60.

The veteran anchor was hailed for inspiring a generation of journalists having kickstarted her career with KTN before traversing the media industry.

A requiem mass is set to be held at the Friends' International Centre along Ngong road on January 12.

She will be laid to rest at her native home in Zululu, Vihiga county, on January 14.
