What you need to know:

  • Before the plunge of death, Dr Makori, was being hosted at the apartment after he relocated to Nairobi from Nakuru where he previously worked as the chief finance officer at Kotani Pay, a fintech company.
  • He previously served as the head of research and strategy at IConnect Global, head of research at EOS Nairobi, and community manager at the African Digital Assets Foundation, according to his LinkedIn profile.

The last known communication that Dr Keith Makori sent out before he fell to his death from the eighth floor of an apartment in Kikuyu was directed to his girlfriend.

On the fateful Saturday night, July 20, Dr Makori, who was being hosted by one of his friends at the apartment in the Kidfarmaco area, called his girlfriend a few minutes before 11 pm and registered suicidal thoughts.
