Renowned Swahili news anchor Mary Kilobi has welcomed a baby, celebrating a joyous milestone in her life alongside veteran trade unionist Francis Atwoli.

The news comes years after Atwoli made waves with his bold remarks about his vitality during an interview with Jeff Koinange on Citizen TV.

In 2021, the outspoken Secretary-General of the Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) confidently addressed Jeff’s questions about his ability to fulfill his marital duties, given the significant age gap between him and Kilobi.

While the couple has kept details of their growing family private, the announcement has been met with an outpouring of warm congratulations from fans and close friends.
