Former health reporter at NTV Nasibo Kabale has been found living on the streets of Nairobi, raising concerns about her well-being. Once a well-known journalist admired for her in-depth coverage of healthcare, mental health, and public policy, Kabale's sudden fall from the public eye has left many shocked and saddened.
Kabale, known for her dedication to reporting on critical health issues, has reportedly been facing personal and financial challenges since her departure from NTV. While the circumstances surrounding her exit from the station remain unclear, those close to her suggest that she has struggled to find stable employment and cope with Nairobi’s rising cost of living.
A video circulating on social media shows Nasibo Kabale wandering the streets, visibly distressed and disoriented. The footage quickly went viral, prompting an outpouring of support and concern from the public. Friends, former colleagues, and fellow journalists have since rallied together, calling on authorities and the public to step in and help her receive the assistance she desperately needs.
“We are saddened to see one of our own in such a state,” said one of Kabale’s former colleagues at NTV. “Nasibo was a brilliant reporter who gave her all to her work. It’s heartbreaking to see her like this and we hope that she gets the support and assistance she deserves.”
Mental health advocates have seized the opportunity to emphasize the importance of addressing mental health issues within the media industry, which is notorious for its high-pressure environment. Kabale’s situation has sparked increased calls for improved mental health support systems and more excellent financial stability for journalists.
