The health status of Kenyan billionaire businessman Chris Kirubi appears to be deteriorating if the latest photo that has emerged on the social media is anything to go by.
The business mogul returned to the country in March after travelling to the United States for specialized treatment for a yet to be disclosed ailment in November, 2017.
His illness was first revealed to employees of Centum Investments, an NSE-listed firm which he serves as chairman and is also its majority shareholder. In a memo to staff in November, Centum Chief Executive Officer James Mworia said Kirubi had travelled to the US for further treatment.
“Instead, Dr Kirubi, whom I spent time with on Monday and saw off at the airport, and have spoken to on multiple occasions since, remains in good spirits and actively engaged on business matters in his usual endearing fashion,” Mworia said in November.
Kirubi said he was recovering well when Opposition leader Raila Odinga visited him at at his residence in Nairobi's Loresho estate in May, although he appeared weak.
The tycoon, who is in his seventies, has invested in several publicly listed as well as private companies. He is the single-largest shareholder of Centum Investments with a 28.64% stake and holds leadership positions in more than 10 companies and organisations.
His vast business empire runs from broadcasting industry (Capital Media Group) to manufacturing (Haco Tiger Brands). The Harvard Business School Alumnus chairs the board of Haco Tiger Brands, where he has a 49% stake and heads the board of Nairobi Bottlers, a local franchisee of global beverage firm, Coca-Cola.

Guest1, that is a callous and heartless thing to say. Kirubi wronged no one and being in his seventies, is only going through a normal end of life process. You too will, as well as I. Civilized people don't hit a man when he's down.
I wish "lawyer" Mutuura can afford a MUTURA/MARA and SOUP for lunch dipo aweze ku-defend a thug like Kirubi.Hiyo ujinga wenu wa musemo-CII GIKUYU ITIRI UKABI,yaani whatever you seize while in tribal wars benefits the whole tribe is nonsense.The cost of living has gone high due to corruption by a small group of Kenyans among them Kirubi.There should no mercy in dealing with them no matter their age or health.ATI MUGIKUYU TANII-DEATH PUNISHMENT
You still believe such such things cii gikuyu .... Ask these so called kikuyus how much they have benefited from that phrase. Being a kikuyu has become a sin or a curse? grow up. Let CK reconcile his life with God or whatever he chooses to do with his last days if indeed they are. You might drop before him ... surprise!
GUEST1 and Karing'a are living examples of human garbage!! CK has never been in government or elected official. What credible allegations do you have against Kirubi?
Tell us who destroyed the Kenya Bus Services (of Nairobi), UCHUMI, etc.
Ignorance will kill you. It was destroyed by the late George Thuo. Was it yours in the first place. Wacha Kirubi augue pole. You are bitter because umeshindwa kujikimu maishani. Shame!

Mr. Chris Kirubi has helped a lot of people, so the least we can do is wish him well. Shame on all the people who are hitting him when he's down...I think most of these bad mouthers are just plain old jealous and envious of the wealth he has accumulated for himself & his family. Don't say anything if you have nothing good to say!
You expose a lot of the quality of your thoughts by what you say,...& that determines whether what you get is a response to your comment or help to your soul.
It's kirubi today tommorow it's you...
Ata mumusifu aje,Kirubi is a thug who looted everything he owns from Kenyans.I wish the much awaited revolution(although some Kenyans are in a deniel because they can't imangine their gods facing the FIRING SQUAD or being taken around in a CAGE like MUBARAK) starts today.I would place majambazi Kirubi,Kibaki and Uhuru on top of the TWO RIVERS MALL and train in SHOOTING RANGE with their EYES.MIITU INO.
Mheshimiwa Dr. Chris Kirubi, Pole sana. Nakutakia kila la kheri upate nafuu haraka.
Not sure why anyone would be taking a picture of diseased person pasting it in social media for all to see without consent. Why would the Kenyan media go along with it if it is not barbarism? Civility is grossly lacking in our culture.
He may have a Disease; but he is not Diseasead. He is not Dead.
I am no seer, but this man ruined many lives when he looted uchumi leading to thousands of lost jobs, Uchumi stocks that many people including me who invested turned to paper and he came out of it with Sevile suits looking like a billionaire. But as we can all see, you don't go with a dime, and the lord will keep him a little longer the country looters to see
He does not like him. It is time to call his pastor and family to make peace with them and ask for forgiveness for all the evil he has done.
Dj CK quick Recovery...
Get well soon sir.
Get well soon Dr.
I know of someone whose a true woman of God that can pray for him to b healed becouse in God evrything is possible by faith n trust in our lord God may u b healed in jesus name Amen.
Who?I need those prayers
This is so so wrong and insensitive. Surely why share this image of a sick man? He is sick. Can we stop showing him!
Chris Kirubi liked Public ATTENTION; a d he Still seems to like it.
On a serious note this is so mean.
Malipo ya dunia ni hapa....
Please my fellow compatriots let us not curse someone because of ailment situation he who thinks is righteous than others should trend very careful because God can spare Chris and whoever is cursing him take the bitter pill, I pray for you Chris that the peace God flood your heart but my request number one is please seek forgiveness with the Lord Jesus Christ so that even when worse comes worse you shall have eternal life which God offers without money. Death is mandatory for every man and woman born on this planet to die regardless of your social, political and economical status.
Go to hell.God is not your property.Or do you control HIM?
Well said, Chris surrender your life to our Lord Jesus Christ, its not to late.
John 3:3
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”
Say this prayer
REPENTANCE PRAYER:
Precious Jesus,
I acknowledge today that you are LORD and Savior of all mankind,
and today I have recognized my shortfall,
I Repent and turn away from all Sin.
Please cover me with your Precious Blood,
and establish your Word in my life,
that I may be found in Righteousness and Holiness
and write my name in your Book of Life
and Baptize me with the Power of The Holy Spirit
in The Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
Your Brother in Christ Jesus,
Wishing you speedy recovery Ck,, may the Lord remember you child of God
In my prayers
He looted KENATCO,UCHUMI AND KENYA BUS SEVICE. KARMA.
Why mock.please know whoGod is!!
Why don't you explain who God is instead of trying to silence opinion regardless of how trivial it may be. I bet you have a direct line to God and can know what s/he wishes.
do you people know God really. please just let the man be I pity those who are mocking him for if at any one time one of your own is struck by cancer if that's what he has and you see them wasting away and nothing can be done with or without money you shall be sending delegations to Chris for forgiveness thinking God is punishing you for the evil things you said about him. if he stole its between him and the maker so let him be quick recovery kirubi
Get well, Kirubi..
It’s sad that he is going through this. “You are in my prayers Sir.” Have faith in The Lord.
We have all felt short of glory of God, but in the name of Jesus all our sins are forgiven. Our prays to him
That older guy does not look like Chris Kirubi to me.
This is so insensitive however you may look at it. What do you stand to gain as a newspaper. Portraying his picture three times to through the media.
This is the last time am opening your newspaper to read. Your moral and conscience authority are too shallow for me to believe anything else you may write.
Just imagine yourself being in CK's position.
As for CK, may the Lord heal you to see many days even to declare the love of God to many.
Let the work of God take its course, as he does it on the good the same is applicable to the bad people..!!
Its very unfortunate the way some people make fun of the sick. We dont know about tomorrow. Lets pray for Dr.Kirubi who has also created alot of jobs for Kenyans. Get well
May God's healin
and peace be upon you. I admire your entrepreneurial demeanor.
I think Kenyans are a curious lot..."msahao mila ni mtumwa". As Africans, our culture demands we respect elders, sick and deceased. Period. Whatever Kirubi did or didn't do is neither here nor there at this point. The man is heading where we all are destined to eventually. Surely the lesson here to be compassionate and tolerant knowing no matter our wealth, God is the supreme being and when he beckons, he beckons no matter our background. Guest1, it must be hard work to be you, your spirit is at odds with humanity.
Very well said.
Pole sana CK for the slickness.
God Almighty loves you and is willing to heal you if you will accept him as Lord and Savior of your life.
I am willing to come and pray for you and my God is willing to heal you if you submit.
No disease / sickness is greater than my God (Hebrews 13:8, Mathew 8:17, Isaiah 53:1-4)
My Jesus Christ himself healed in the past and he will heal you to day if you give him the opportunity to do so.
Dr. Chris Kirubi, Try my Lord Jesus Christ today and you wont regret.
Regards,
Bishop Abraham J. Musomba tel:+254722772841
May the Almighty God, most merciful and most precious God look upon you with His eye of compassion. Throughout, God's favour has been upon you and the anointing to make wealth freely given to you by God. May the healing power of God be upon you. Above all, May you embrace His free gift of salvation in Jesus name Amen
Praise be to Jesus. Gods time is the best. Chris please make amends with your God. Jesus heals and if you ask for forgiveness and go further to ask for healing. You will be healed. When prophets pray together to pray for your healing, you will be healed but to keep that healing, you will have to permanently be in Christ. Watch Emmanuel TV and travel to Lagos for healing. Believe and have faith and all things will be well.
The Bible speaks often of miraculous healing through the work of Jesus Christ and faith in God. Our Lord is able to provide both physical and spiritual healing, and wants to do that for you!
When you are overwhelmed with health problems, bad news, or relationship struggles, the Word of God can be your source of supernatural help. Don't give up! God promises greater things in store - a future filled with promise and hope!
Kibaki should steal cure the way he looted ICDC,conveting it to a private company(CENTUM) before his former boss/looting comrade silently revived it but gave it to another looter,Kimenyi.Do Kenyans know that all companies associated with Kirubi evade taxation?A beverage company admitted to nonpayment of billions last year.
Use these Bible verses to talk to God about your pain and to fill your heart with hope.
"Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise." ~ Jeremiah 17:14
"Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven." ~ James 5:14-15
Please CHRIS KIRUBI watch EMMANUEL TV, fly to Lagos for healing. All pride aside, belief and have faith, you will be healed in Jesus Name.
"He said, “If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.” ~ Exodus 15:26
"Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you…" Exodus 23:25
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." ~ Isaiah 41:10
So callous and heartless thing to say. No one is righteous, not one. What have you done thou judge of others!
Wish you a quick recovery.
Those casting stones,until you witness a lovedcone deteriorate and turn to a zombie even if he/she was a criminal of the highest order, then that is when you will realize cursing him now is waste of breath, where were all of you when he was strong and confront him ( kuongea matope hapa is useless) including those who had Uchumi shares( you should have sued him then). Hope Mr. Kirubi gets better and hope is conscience is clear when he meets his maker. I will not wish anyone one bad wishes, mtu and their own conscience as Karma is B..............
Sorry boss.you must say sorry to wananchi you did that to.or else malipo ni machungu fathee.
Whatever Chris did in his past he cannot change and beating him while he is down is a bit cowardly. Cancer is a slow cruel master. If it has affected you or anyone close to you then you know better than to wish it on anyone regardless of who they are or what they did. Compassion is a virtue.
Pole sana to Mr. Chris.
I am praying for Chris Kirubi, that he may find Peace in God who is his as well as our Father, and that he may be covered by the redeeming Blood of Jesus our Saviour. That Jesus Christ may heal his mind, body, and spirit.
Forgiveness and redemption by Jesus our Lord are for every person who wishes to receive them. The man who went to work at the last hour received the same wages as those who came at dawn - that is the Kingdom of God.
I also want to pray for the rest of us, especially those who are busy wishing ill of Kirubi, since it is clear they are much in need of repentance.
Let us wish him well.
Shame on all the bad mouthers...work for your own wealth & stop being jealous.
You’ve been a pillar to this countrie’s economy. Wishing you quick recovery CK
KARMA is a b......
God is the uttmost judge, those close to him should advise him to seek peace with his maker. Despite the negativity spoken about him, his words inspires me. I wish him well, may the will of God be done.
Wish him Quick recovery. May he come out strong
If a son or daughter do wrong, the parent deal with him or her. Those who claim or allege of being wronged by CK, leave him to his Father. For those wishing him all manner of curses, let me tell you who really don't know what cancer means to family and patient. Cancer is a monster that you even wouldn't want to wish it on your worst enemy. Cancer is a demon and a devil that destabilize and destroy not just the patient, but members of one's family, relatives, friends, neighbors and community. There are so many Kenyans out there who have hurt and continue to hurt Kenyans even today. They thrive on it. From Mpigs, governors, Mcas, pastors, CSs, Ngiritas, Ndubais, Ongwaes,KPC, National Cereals, yaani people who will get bribes to kill Kenyans from the comfort of their homes. Just leave them to God. So give some peace to CK and family. Lets pray for him, wish him well. Get well soon, Chris.
KARMA is b.......
We talk as if we are here to stay forever. But again Chris K case should show the greedy politicians looting the country that one day we gonna leave all that behind and it is more painful the more we leave behind.
This is not time for CK to make more enemies, so those urging him to make peace with his maker should refrain from such unsolicited advice. He has lived a full and bountiful life and he has not asked anyone for pity or clemency. It is very rude to impose your Pascal wager beliefs, to someone so frail, yet unapologetic. Leave CK alone if you cannot empathize with him. And this applies to those that have accused him of various ills and to those that think this is the time he needs to give up his free will to a supernatural being...
Let him who has not sinned cast the first stone. Dj CK healing upon you in Christ's name.
I a looking for a job as an IT technician/ ICT officer
God has the destiny of us all,sinners n not sinners,weall belong to God
Jesus thy healing is still as yesterday
In Jesus name,Chris be healed Amen
It's only a heartless person will talk 'carelessly' when another is undergoing such a turmoil. I mean,say a prayer,wish him well and rest like judgement leave for the guy upstairs!

May God Grant you Peace> May he be with you. And if it is his will, May he grant you healing.
Surely human beings, are you so perfect that you keep putting someone who is sick online. What do you benefit, let he who has no sin cast the first stone. God is all merciful you will be casting aspersions while you don't know whether he has repented. You don't know your tommorrow the best you can do is either encourage it keep quiet God can decide to test you the same or worse. Be kind
Every dog has its day.. it's said its not the wealth we acummulate but the kind of deeds we leave behind that count. On that day when they read your eulogy in your absence what is it they will say about you? "They will say... He/She is survived by....... not he/she owns etc etc. They will talk of your philanthpical nature... not your homes, cars or bank accounts. it's the deeds, the family, the public service. Lets search our souls whilst we live. let's imagine our eulogies.......what will be there? For death, like taxes, is the only certainty we live with.
Who are we to judge others yet we are all sinners? Who told you Chris has not taken measures to safeguard his soul? Who said Chris has not read all those verses of the holy book and received prayers? The best we can do is pray that the healing virtue of the greatest physician Christ Jesus flows through Chris and silences every cancer elements and traces in his body. God is able to intervene in all situations and for all, whether they be saints or thieves, rich or poor, God does not segregate. In my opinion, let's just remember Chris in our prayers and leave the rest to God.
Judge not or you will be Judged.
Fools never know that although Kirubi is Sick God can decide to end their life like now ... Just the way you admonished Kirubi you better ask forgiveness same way otherwise only God can Judge you arrogant Racist Axs
The photo here shows Chris with another person who I believe is also a billionaire friend of Kirubi. Mwakilishi decided not to mention him. He is George Wainaina the Secretary to the Cabinet of GOVERNOR Kidero Nairobi County government and my former classmate. That is how I can only relate myself to Chris Kirubi. Hehe.
Ma the Lord God see you through Mr CK God is able to remove thawani from ur body and make you whole With GOD all things are possible.Be healed In JESUS Mighty Name
Did he ever get well. I have not heard of him of late. I believe the prayers did wonders
prayers go to mheshimiwa Kirubi on his fateful health and path to quick recovery...not to worry sir..we are with you through prayers and grace within a shorter second span...we pray harder to God for your quick recovery and path to brighter warm sunny days and good health..we are all together in this sir..all the best and quick recovery..one!
You get Rich for YOURSELF (even at the Expense of the Vulnerable): The Lord GOD will Require of your Soul (Quicker than you think).
