One of the most talented Kenyan journalists of her
time, she had been reportedly battling cancer for the
past two years.
Anne joined the BBC crew in 2009 after many years
with local TV and radio stations.
Interestingly, she was the first BBC bilingual English
and Swahili reporter to be appointed to the Ethiopian
capital, Addis Ababa. Her death comes less than a
fortnight after that of another celebrated BBC
journalist, Komla Dumor from Ghana, in London.
BBC Africa editor Solomon Mugera described her as "a
brave, well-organised and talented journalist".
BBC international bureaux manager Razvan Scortea
added, "I am very saddened by this. Anne was a
lovely person, bright, gentle and positive, and she
fought so hard. God bless her."
