Thursday, May 1, 2025 - Veteran radio presenter, Edward Kwach, known for his distinctive voice and engaging presence, reportedly died in financial distress, a close neighbour has revealed.
According to Kwach’s neighbour, he used to see him
struggling with life in Rongai, despite being one of the most celebrated radio
presenters in Kenya.
His financial status did not match his popularity.
Behind closed doors, Edward was struggling, and he barely
made ends meet in the last couple of years, forcing him to rely on friends and
well-wishers.
Kwach rose to fame in the 1990s and early 2000s, working
with major radio stations like Capital FM and Kiss 100, where he became a
household name.
However, like many who experience early success in the
volatile media industry, his fortunes dwindled over time.
At one time, he was fired from Kiss 100 after he sank into
alcoholism.
Kwach died on the night of Monday, April 28th,
2025, at the age of 52.
He died while undergoing treatment for meningitis at a
Nairobi hospital.
Kwach's career spanned over two decades, during which he
became a beloved figure in Kenya's media landscape.
Mainstream media journalists were warned by @kibeandy . Radio Africa put him on a billboard with @KameneGoro before even paying that month’s salaries.
