Senior political reporter for Citizen Television Stephen Letoo said he had recovered from what he believed to be food poisoning.
Letoo apparently fell sick among a large number of other Royal Media Services (RMS) employees.
The renowned journalist announced his current health status on Facebook on December 28.
One of the media companyโs female employees tragically passed away due to food poisoning.
Several hours after posting about stomach pain on the companyโs WhatsApp group, the woman was discovered dead at her home.
According to Wachira Waruru, Managing Director of RMS, the company had contracted with a private food catering company to supply meals for employees working the Christmas shift as part of the normal holiday working arrangements.
On Monday, December 26, however, several employees reported severe stomach aches after eating company-provided lunches. As a result, according to Wachira, numerous employees have been hospitalized with symptoms consistent with poisoning. The CEO assured impacted employees that the company would do all it takes to help them recover, and an investigation into the possible food poisoning incident is ongoing.
