Bob Collymore, the former CEO of Safaricom, was married to artist and entrepreneur Wambui Kamiru. The couple reportedly met around 2011 and developed a close relationship before marrying in a private ceremony in Nairobi in 2016. They were often described as a supportive and loving couple, frequently appearing together at public events and charitable initiatives.
Among Bob Collymore’s close friends was veteran Kenyan journalist Jeff Koinange.
