It’s The End Of The Road For Veteran Journalist Jerry Okungu

Today, we sadly bid adieu to another great one. Veteran journalist and The Star columnist ‪‎Jerry Okungu has succumbed to cancer at the age 61.

Prostrate cancer tobe specific.A disease that has plucked awayother greats such as Robert Otani (He succumbed to the disease in his family’s home in Manyatta-Awendo village in Migori County.)

Jerry was not only a journalist but he was also the proprietor of The Jerry Okungu Medical Committee that set up a fund to help those in marginalized communities.
“The fund is intended for those marginalized communities in need of testing and scanning for Prostate Cancer — who due to poverty cannot afford regular screenings and lack information about how to proceed when tests come out positive for cancer.”(jerryokungu.org)
