Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso Returns to Kenya after Medical Trip Abroad

Bomet Governor Dr. Joyce Laboso has returned to the country more than a month after she traveled abroad for treatment.

Governor Laboso returned to the country on Sunday after undergoing treatment in the United Kingdom and India for six weeks.

Laboso left the country for the UK on May 29th after handing over duties to Deputy Governor Hillary Barchok.

Her office announced she was taking a one-month medical leave, ending months of public speculation that she was ailing. Prior to that, she had not been seen in public for weeks.
 
Laboso was reportedly discharged from London's Royal Marden NHS Foundation Trust Hospital in the last week of June to seek further treatment in India.

Details of what ails Governor Laboso remain scanty but unconfirmed reports indicate she is battling cancer.

ODM leader Raila Odinga, Chief Justice David Maraga and Kericho Governor Paul Chepkwony visited Laboso in London a few weeks ago.

Former Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto and Chepalungu MP Gideon Koskei also visited Dr. Laboso.
