He notably served as the head of the DCI unit at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where he was recognized for his professionalism and dedication to duty.
His death is a significant loss to his family, friends, and former colleagues in the service. Prayers and condolences are extended to his family during this difficult time. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
