Popular Kenyan TV anchor who works as a mortuary attendant

Working multiple jobs isn’t all that uncommon, whether you’re saving up money, starting your own business, or gaining experience in an unfamiliar industry.

But with early mornings, late nights, and way too many responsibilities to keep track of, it’s pretty hard to find a balance between fulfilling your commitments to those jobs and maintaining your sanity.

K24’s news anchor Eric Njoka is one of the people in the country that works as a journalist and doubles up as a mortuary attendant.

Once Njoka is done with his job at K24, he trades his suit with a white overcoat in his other role as a mortician.

On a normal day Njoka goes through the morgue’s registry and ensures appointments for future clients are in order.

The seasoned journalist also ensures dead bodies are well prepared before burial.

“My dad trained me to be a mortician so to speak. His family objective was to make me work here and learn skills to start my own hospital and mortuary in future. My dream was not to work here and my dad was very strict on us,” says Njoka.
