The Sports Journalists Association of Kenya (SJAK) is deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of our colleague, friend, and dedicated member, Paul Kimani Kaberia, popularly known to his listeners and peers as Diblo.
Diblo passed away early this morning while receiving treatment at the Ruaraka Uhai Neema Hospital following a short illness.
Until his untimely demise, Kaberia was a vibrant Radio Presenter at Radio Jambo, where his passion for sports, infectious energy, and distinct voice resonated with millions of sports fans across the country. He was an exceptional storyteller who brought life to the airwaves and elevated sports journalism in Kenya.
Beyond his brilliant career on the radio, Diblo was an invaluable pillar of the SJAK family. He was a key member of SJAK FC, where his talent, camaraderie, and unwavering team spirit on and off the pitch brought immense joy to the association. His presence in our sports media fraternity was a source of constant warmth and inspiration.
“We have lost not just a brilliant journalist, but a brother and a teammate whose passion for the game was evident in everything he did. Diblo’s passing leaves a massive void in the sports journalism fraternity and within SJAK FC. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the Radio Africa Group during this incredibly difficult time.”
SJAK extends its deepest condolences to the family of Paul Kimani Kaberia, his colleagues at Radio Jambo, and the entire media fraternity. We stand with you in grief and solidarity.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
