"The country to be updated as more information becomes available," Mr Kinyua said.

Sources close to Mr Nkaissery said he went to Karen Hospital at around 3pm after leaving Uhuru Park where he accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta at a prayer event. 

"He actually looked okay but he said he needed to go to hospital as he was not feeling well," the source said.

President Kenyatta picked Mr Nkaissery from the opposition to head the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government on December 2, 2014, to replace Joseph Ole Lenku.

Before that, he was the member of parliament for Kajiado Central constituency on an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) ticket.

    It is ALLEGED Joseph Nkaissery said that:
    The ONLY way RAILA was going to become President of Kenya was on his (Nkaissery's) DEAD body. You get the point; or the prophecy?

    I am just wondering, at the funeral, will raila and uhuru insult each other like kids as we are used to ..... will Joho try to attend the funeral and be barred by Uhuru's security ... is this an odm, nasa or jumbirii death .... Are nasa pple happy and jumbirii pple sad ... are politicians getting their insults ready for the funeral

    RAILA is NOT a Man of INSULTS, thefts, or murder; he is AGWAMBO the Man of Proverbs/Wisdom and Life. That's why "Like him or Dislike him", he is LOVABLE.
