Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore Gives Update of His Health Status

Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Bob Collymore, who has reportedly been receiving specialized treatment in London, United Kingdom for the last few weeks, has given an update on his heath.

In a circular to company's employees in late October, Safaricom chairman Nicholas Ng’ang’a announced that Collymore had taken a leave for a "number of months" to seek specialized treatment for unspecified illness.

“On behalf of the board, management and the entire Safaricom community, I wish Bob quick recovery and look forward to him resuming his duties as soon as the doctors allow him to do so,” he said.
