DAILY POST: BOB COLLYMORE under pressure to step aside over poor health, Cancer has taken a toll on him. Entertainment News, Videos 08:38
Friday,
December 21, 2018 - Safaricom CEO, Bob Collymore,
is under pressure to step aside as the boss of the telecommunication giant over
poor health.According to well placed sources, Collymore’s health has deteriorated and he is finding it hard to run day to day activities at Safaricom.
Late last year, he flew out of the Country for specialized medical attention where he stayed in UK for about 9 months after he was diagnosed with blood cancer (leukemia).
While appearing in an interview on Jeff Koinange’s JKL Live on Citizen TV, Bob revealed how he fell ill and took a long time before finding out he had cancer.
“I had been feeling unwell for awhile, tired and with high temperatures from time to time; it got so bad that I could not make it to company events,” He said. When he went for blood tests at Nairobi Hospital, doctors referred him to a specialist in the UK who diagnosed him with leukemia. Sources at Safaricom informed us that Board members and majority shareholders have requested him to quit if he feels he can’t continue with the management job which is so demanding. A video of the latest Safaricom advert dubbed Tuko Na Wewe Kila Wakati where Bob makes an appearance proves that his health has deteriorated.He is not the jovial and energetic Bob we were used to. These days, he rarely makes appearance in the media or social media events the way he used to do before cancer took a toll on his health. We wish him quick recovery.
