The journalist was based in Kibiti District, Coast Region. He has gone missing since November 21.
“We call upon stakeholders, various institutions and well-wishers to join hands with us in contributing for Ms Anna Pinoni (Azory’s wife) and the children,” he said.

He said MCL has resolved to carry children’s education expenses and support family’s health cover through the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) arrangement.
“The company will provide funds to enable the family start an economic business of their choice and one that it can manage well. Also, we will continue sustaining the family with daily expenses,” said Mr Nanai.
