A local newspaper was forced to clarify over the use of a musician's image in a cover story stating that she was a murder victim.
The Standard, in its story, mistook the musician with a woman who shared the same name as the deceased.
The newspaper also apologised to the vernacular artist for the editorial mistake on the article.
"We inadvertently placed the photo of renowned Kalenjin musician, Faith Chepkirui, instead of that of another Faith Chepkirui, a former student of Kaiboi Technical Training Institute, who was stabbed to death on February 17, this year.
"We wish to confirm that Faith, whose photo we published, is alive and doing well in her music business, where she has in the recent past staged successful live shows and performances.
"We wish to take this early opportunity to sincerely apologize to Faith, her family, friends and her fans for the regrettable error," read the statement from the media house.
This occurred just a day after another media house, Nation, was ordered to pay billionaire Jimmy Wanjigi Ksh8 million for an obituary they published about him.
In its defense, Nation Media argued that it was just a third party that was paid for the obituary advert.
Since NMG could not name or produce the said client who paid for the advert, their argument was thrown out by the court.
The judge also stated that Nation had enjoyed the profit proceeds from the fake advert.
