Kenya Broadcasting Corporation's (KBC) journalist Fredrick Parsayo's death is still a shock to many who saw him as a fast-rising scribe.

His employer, KBC confirmed his death as they shared a beautiful tribute in honour of their fallen scribe.

In his last Facebook post published on March 5, Parsayo shared a cryptic message as a caption to his photo.

He was in a light blue shirt, black trousers and tie as he crossed his hand and happily smiled for the camera.

"Ore teniiti ing'orisho amu keboree irkikuu enkoitoi!" (When you are there, always look around because there are thorns on the way)," he wrote.

Renowned Citizen TV journalist Stephen Letoo in an exclusive interview with noted that Parsayo was a bold journalist who had a great future ahead.

"I am wishing the family peace and strength during this difficult moment. We will always stand together as the media fraternity, and see that he is given a good send-off. We come from the same area in Kilgoris, and I have interacted with him. Sometimes we used to meet in Parliament and he would ask me how to go about things. He was a good man who was focused on bettering his career. I saw a brighter future for him, we just pray for the family," he said.

Parsayo's post comes slightly over a year after he penned a moving tribute to renowned social media influencer Grand Mulla Kaizer who succumbed to illness in February 2024.

Parsayo shared a photo of himself with Kaizer and wrote:

"It was just the other day when we had a chit-chat on geopolitics and international relations. Little did I know that it would be our last conversation. I'm yet to come to terms with the news of your demise."

Earlier reported police have launched investigations to determine what may have led to Parsayo's untimely death.

Officers stationed at Kinoo Police Station took over the case even as his body has been taken to St. Theresa Hospital Morgue in Kikuyu.
