The Kenyan media fraternity has been thrown into mourning following the death of K24 political Affairs producer Jeff Dennis Khaemba.
Khaemba's demise was confirmed by his colleagues who revealed that the scribe was rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) on Tuesday morning, October 24.
The journalist was discharged from the same facility on Sunday, October 22 and having experienced health issues for some time, suffered a spike in sugar levels while at home.

This prompted his family to rush him to a nearby clinic, but his condition worsened, resulting in his transfer to KNH for advanced medical attention.
"Khaemba passed on at KNH. He had been rushed again after being discharged from the same facility on Sunday.
"Sugar levels went high while at home. He was rushed to a nearby clinic, but he got worse still, before being rushed back to KNH," a message by his colleagues seen by Viral Tea read in part.
Unfortunately, he passed away on Tuesday morning.
His colleagues as well as a section of politicians described the late Khaemba as a dedicated individual.
Nominated Senator Esther Okenyuri, in her condolence message, credited the deceased for organising her first appearance on K24 TV.
"Saddened to learn about the sudden demise of Jeff Dennis Khaemba, a Political Affairs Producer at K24TV.
"I extend my heartfelt condolences at this difficult time. He organized my very first K24 Television appearance just after I had joined the Senate and other morning shows thereafter," she mourned.
"A good man has rested Jeff Dennis Khaemba, the Political Affairs Producer at K24TV. Fare thee well bro till we meet again," Hilary Mageka, the Parliamentary and Political Reporter at People Daily, posted on Facebook.
Prior to his demise, Khaemba worked at K24 as a political affairs producer for one year and eight months, having joined in May 2022.
He worked at a series of media houses, including Ebru TV as a reporter in April 2022 where he sharpened his skills in field reporting.
Khaemba was before that the Head of News at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) FM, having joined in May 2014 for a period of eight years.
He began his career at Kayne Investment in 2011 as a secretary. He held a Bachelor's degree in journalism and mass communication, print and broadcast media, from MMUST between 2011 and 2015.
