Media Maven Lorna Irungu Passes On

Lorna Irungu-Macharia passed on last evening due to COVID-19 related complications, the family announced in a heartbreaking tribute. According to the statement, Lorna "passed on at The Karen Hospital, Nairobi, while undergoing treatment for COVID-19."
"The family knows that Lorna is deeply loved by many and asks for your continued prayers and requests privacy during this difficult time but also informs that a public virtual celebration of her life will be organized and details will be communicated shortly. We loved you Lorna but the Lord loved you more," the statement continued.
The former media personality was famed for her debut in the classic TV game show, Omo Pick-a-Box which aired in the 90s. Lorna then hosted beloved KTN kids show, Club Kiboko for five years before moving to Nation FM as a radio presenter. She later became the managing director of communications firm, Gina Din Group.
Lorna has been battling Lupus, a long-term autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the body becomes overactive and attacks normal, healthy tissue, having undergone several kidney transplants. She is survived by husband Edwin Macharia and their 12-year-old daughter. Her interment will be held today (March 23) in a private family function.
The news comes amidst the deaths of former NTV anchor Winnie Mukami and Royal Media journalist, Robin Njogu just recently.

The Paper Tigers Trailer Released

Danny (Uy), Hing (Yuan), and Jim (Jenkins) were inseparable as teenagers, but after graduation, they drifted apart due to a mysterious fallout at an overseas tournament. After 25 years, each has matured into a middle-aged washed-up man who appears to be one kick away from tearing a hamstring—and is no longer preoccupied with thoughts of martial arts or childhood best friends.
When their old master is assassinated, the trio will reunite after decades of silence, only to discover that honorably defending their sifu's legacy will necessitate conquering old grudges (and a dangerous hitman still armed with plenty of knee cartilage).
The Paper Tigers, directed and written by Tran Quoc Bao, debuts in theatres May 7, 2021. Check out the trailer below!
