“Robin was a consummate journalist and contributed heavily to the development of radio news in the country. Sad loss for his young family, RMS and the media fraternity in the country. May God comfort his family,” he noted.

Describing him as a personal friend, Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua also reflected on his relationship with the departed journalist.

“The other day when I visited him at the hospital he was cheerful and getting better…what a sad night,” he wrote.

Njogu had experience spanning over a decade in the media industry.

He was the holder of a degree in Development Communication from the University of Nairobi. Njogu also held a Diploma in Mass Communication from the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication.
