This comes days after another journalist at the Royal Media Services-owned station, Stephen Letoo, confirmed to have contracted the virus.

Mr Letoo hosts a morning political show with Mr Koinange at Hot 96.

Mr Letoo also told a local media last week that he is asymptomatic and is currently under the home-based care program.

“I did not have any signs and even now I don’t have any signs. I am fine and I have my appetite like before. You might even think that I am pretending. I can’t trace and explain how I got it but upon doing the tests at Nairobi Hospital, it turned out that I had contacted the virus,” he told The Star in an interview.

A number of journalists at the media house have reportedly tested positive for the virus and are yet to go public about their state.

So far, Kenya has recorded 13,771 cases, 238 deaths and 5,616 recoveries.
