KANU National Chairman Gideon Moi has condoled with the family of veteran news anchor Catherine Kasavuli who died on Thursday evening after a long battle with cancer.

In a statement to newsrooms on Friday, December 30, Moi said Kasavuli was a reflection of analytical and professional journalism.

"A veteran newscaster, Kasavuli was a reflection of analytical and professional journalism, demonstrated through her stellar career in the newsroom," said Moi.

Her loss is a big blow to not only the family, friends and the media fraternity but also to the entire country. We pray that God rests her soul in eternal peace and grant the family the fortitude and grace to bear this loss," he added.

Kasavuli, 60, was battling cervical cancer and had been admitted to the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) private wing since October 26, 2022.
