Okari said the divorce from Betty was so depressing that he thought of taking his own life.
He bravely disclosed that he wrestled with thoughts of self-harm, and said that he once wanted to crash his car and get into a comma.
“I wanted to crash my car on Mombasa Road one night. I remember a voice so clearly telling me why I don’t crash the car, and get into a comma, at least weeks would pass by and by the time I wake up the heat will be over. I looked for a boulder that used to be on the road but that night I didn’t see it.”
He said that the idea of him getting married was a wrong move as his definition to marriage didn’t work.
