REST WELL MWENDA NCHAMBA

The Meru Press Club members joined family, friends of the late Mwenda Nchamba, Meru leaders and the Media fraternity in resting the former Thiiri 101.2FM Presenter.

Journalists from Meru comforted the family with the words of the popular Hymn 'It is Well with my Soul'.

Nchamba was loved far and wide for his charm, gift of the garb and generosity.

We pray that his family finds peace and comfort in his absence.

RIP NCHAMBA!
