I have learnt with deep sadness the untimely death of a celebrated columnist and journalist Raphael Tenthani who died in a road accident last evening.
His death is undoubtedly a huge loss to the media fraternity and the entire nation. I will remember him as a man of immense talent, who courageously sought ways of making a positive contribution to the discourse of national unity and development.
Through his Muckraking Column in the Sunday Times, Mr. Tenthani liked to argue with charm and delight.
He will long be remembered for his eloquence, humor, warmth, progressive ideals, intellectual heft, toughness and concerns on issues of national interest.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and the entire media fraternity.
May his soul rest in peace.
