CNN African Journalist 2012 spoke to the Star about the time he was jobless and had taken up to hitting the bottle. Tom told Catherine Mukei, "We have always been a closely-knit family, always looking out for each other. This was especially so when I unceremoniously left Nation Media Group where I was working as a news anchor two years ago.
"I had always had a job and was used to getting a salary at the end of every month. Jobless and desperate, I found solace in the bottle. My drinking got so bad that I was eventually admitted to ICU for a month.
"People thought that I would never recover but I finally pulled through. That is the time I found the real value of family, especially my brother Steven who was very close. His actions demonstrated how much he cared for me. People really spoke ill of me, saying I had all sorts of diseases but Steve and the rest of my family stood by me until I recovered."
