Kenyan journalist and CNN international correspondent Larry Madowo has been thrown into deep mourning.
The journalist on Friday afternoon took to his official social media accounts to announce the passing on of his grandmother Francesca Madowo.
While mourning her in a very touching message, Larry Madowo described his grandmother as the family matriarch, family heartbeat and his comedy partner.
He went ahead to note that her death has left him numbing, and ripped his heart from the chest.
The journalist noted that light had gone out of the family following the death of the matriarch.
“My grandmother, the family matriarch, our heartbeat, my comedy partner, the dearly loved Francesca Madowo has joined the ancestors. I am numb. My heart has been ripped from my chest. Light has gone out of my life. Nind gi kwe, min Omollo,” tweeted Larry Madowo.
Before joining CNN, Larry Madowo worked as a North America correspondent for the BBC based in Washington, DC.
He was also named a young global leader by the World Economic Forum and twice listed among 100 most influential Africans by NewAfrican Magazine.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
