K24 journalist dies while undergoing treatment in Hospital

Jeff Dennis Khaemba, a producer for K24 Political Affairs, has died.

His colleagues verified his death, revealing that the scribe was brought to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) on Tuesday morning after being discharged from the same facility on Sunday.

Khaemba, who had been struggling with health concerns for some time, had a spike in his sugar levels at home, prompting his family to rush him to a local clinic.
