Former NTV anchor Winnie Mukami has died from complications linked to Covid-19.

Mukami passed away on Wednesday at a hospital in Nairobi where she was being treated after contracting Coronavirus.

She graced Kenyan tv screens after joining NTV in 2003 but launched her career at the government-owned KBC where she worked as TV and radio presenter and producer.

Mukami left NTV in 2010 after a seven-year stint to establish her own public relations company, Winners Frontiers International Limited, which she operated until her death.
