ODM leader Raila Odinga and Former Bomet Governor, Isaac Ruto, has made one request to the government following the death of the late Joyce Laboso.
Ruto and Raila stated that it was time the government and Kenyan citizens made a concerted effort towards fighting cancer.
“We must set up a well funded and equipped cancer center in Kenya, it is time. We are losing many lives to cancer. Millions may be silent victims and cannot get treatment.
As a country, we can make a concerted effort towards fighting cancer, yes we can,” Ruto noted.
Raila stated that the government needs to set up oncology centers to help curb the cancer menace.
The former governor also passed his condolences to Laboso’s family, noting that she was dedicated to serving Bomet residents.
The governor died at the age of 58 at the Nairobi Hospital, where she had been admitted in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit for two weeks.
She was the second governor of Bomet County after beating Ruto in the 2017 general election.
Her death comes two weeks after she silently jetted back to the country on July 14 after a medical trip to India and the United Kingdom.

Kenyans will continue dying
Kenya has to make bold move…
0-ensure all foodstuff in market have met specific conditions and origins known including how were planted/care for eg. watering…..not with athi river water….
1.–stop importation of vegetables,onions ,fruits ,milk,rice, fish,chicken,juices and other food stuffs if have not been inspected by Kenyan at point of origin.
many nations exporting food into Kenya are using banned pesticides and chemicals in farms yet we have open door policy………
medicines importation must stop……all medicines shud be manufactured in 254 by parent or another companies….this way…expired/newly labeled drugs will not be sold in 254….
bottled water and piped water is full of chemicals…..

Devolve resources. Health is devolved but money hoarded at Afyia house to lease equipment that is in many cases duplicated or idle. Immobile “mobile” clinics used as conduits to loot money are rotting in Mombasa years down the line.
Raila means well but Jubilee characters are shading crocodile tears.
