Prominent Kenyan business mogul Dr. Chris Kirubi has died at the age of 80.
Kirubi passed away at his home at around 1 pm on Monday following a long illness, his family announced.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Christopher J. Kirubi (1941-2021) who passed away today, Monday the 14th of June, 2021 at 1 pm at his home after a long battle with cancer fought with fortitude, grace, and courage. He was surrounded by his family,” said the family in a statement.
In 2019, the industrialist opened up about his battle with cancer, saying he had defeated the disease.
“Cancer is not devastating if it’s early discovered. We need to make sure that if you have cancer, it is discovered in the first or second stage by that time, it is possible to cure cancer, ” he said in a recorded video.
“Do not allow cancer to get to the third or to fourth stage because it becomes very difficult for the doctors to cure us. Cancer is a disease that can be taken care of if we go to the doctor to check our blood from time to time to make us aware of what is happening to our bodies.”
“I’d like you to think of me, to see me as a reminder that cancer can be cured. I’d like you to believe in it by taking care of your body,” he added.
The billionaire traveled to the US for specialized treatment in November 2017 and returned to the country in March 2018.
During the extended medical trip abroad, photos of a frail-looking Kirubi were shared on social media but subsequent images showed the tycoon’s health status had improved.
With investments in various sectors including media, real estate, agriculture, and manufacturing, Kirubi is among the wealthiest individuals in the country.
Kirubi is a father of two, a son and a daughter. His daughter Mary-Anne Musangi worked as the Managing Director of his company Haco Industries, while his son Robert Kirubi works in Brussels, Belgium as the head of Global Customer Programs at DHL Service Logistics.

“Kifo chafaana,” Wahenga…
“Kifo chafaana,” Wahenga walinena nyakati. Katika harakati zake za kuunda mbingu iliomilikiwa na Mwana-adam, Maulana aliumba mwanadamu huku akitumia changarawe ilosombwa na matuta ya unyevunyevu kisha akapumua na hapo ndipo “Morris Menye”, “MjuAji,” “Mkenya Halisi,” “Mlachake,” na wengineo walivyojipata katika dunia hii ya mahangaiko na machafuko. Nisilowahi kuelewa kinaga ubaga ni utaratibu na mbinu ambazo Rabuka alitumia kuficha matayarisho, masumbuko, na baadaye mwili kuchoshwa na usumbufu kisha ukanyamaza kili. Nicholas Biwott, aliyeiba rasilmali ya umma hadi akajiiba mwenyewe, aliogopa kiasi cha kwamba alitumia magari ya maficho yasiozidi matano kutoka Eldoret hadi Nairobi. Kisa na maana: asife amungunywe na vifaduru vingoajevyo maiti mle mchangani. Ni vivyo hivyo ndivyo mhasama Moi, na wapenziwe Ntimama, Bargetuny, Kones, Arap Too, Abraham Kiptanui na wengineo. Kifo chafaana kweli. Tenda wema nenda zako ndugu zanguni. Mtende binadamu mwnezako jinsi nawe ungelitarajia kutendwa, kwani sote sisi hapa duniani tu wapita njia tu. Kila siku sote sisi tu bakshishi ya Maulana. Kifo kijapo, ulicho nacho, hadhi yako, nyadhifa zako, mali zako, jamaa yako, kabila lako, chochote unachohusishwa nacho, yote inakuwa bure birashi. Mbio za mgambo zikipulizwa, kwenda mbinguni au ahera, Toba kashaamua. Tazama maambukizo ya virusi vya Korona na gonjwa wa saratani! Hayachagui wewe ni nani. Ikiamuliwa siku zako zishatimia, ewalla. Rohowe Chris Kirubi ilazwe pema palipo wengine.

Good riddance. I once met this guy and he tore into me because I had the nerve to tell him, I didn’t know who he was. Some who knew him up close, will tell you he was not a pleasant man.

Wow, Iam appalled at the vitrol,and polemic attack some of these commentators spew .Even if I thought someone deserves attacks,I would hope that this is not the forum for it.
Yes,@ Sukari,I think this is the bane of Mwakilishi.Just about anything is published.Arent there any guidelines. They say that the administrators review content before printing,REALLY!
Mwakilishi can do better by censoring its contents.Some of the contents here would not pass editor’s desk,save for heading in the trash can.
My suggestion to Mwakilishi is to start another Forum -MWAKILISHI UNCESORED for those bend on spewing insults,and leave this one for respecful approach to ideas,and comments.My two cents.

Pole sana Chris. You were a hard worker and successful entrepreneur, but you were also lonely. We never got to see who your family were,perhaps we will now get to see them at your funeral, no doubt singing praises and shedding crocodile tears.
