Ex-gospel journalist at Pwani FM, Sammy Ambari kills self inside his house in Kilifi.

‘’He immersed himself in the political arena after leaving Pwani FM,’’ stated Pwani FM.
Speaking to the media, people close to him stated that the ex-journalist had shown no signs of distress or illness.
In the meantime, suicide rates have been rising, and some experts blame this on the low level of mental health awareness in the country.
Experts have cautioned that the country’s present economic difficulties will cause more Kenyans to develop despair.
Many Kenyans have been forced out of jobs and layoffs as a result of the rising unemployment rate.
