Former Powerful Moi-Era Politician Hosea Kiplagat Dies in Nairobi
Former powerful politician Hosea Kiplagat has passed away aged 76.
Kiplagat died at his home in Karen, Nairobi on Saturday morning as his family prepared to rush him to the hospital after falling ill.
He is reported to have been seen last on Friday evening having drinks with friends at a Lavington members’ club.
Kiplagat, a close associate, and aide to the later former President Daniel Arap Moi was a long-serving chairperson of Co-operative Bank until his resignation in 2003. Hosea was a well-known businessman.
He unsuccessfully contested for the Baringo Central parliamentary seat in 2007 under the Safina party and 2013 on an ODM ticket.
Last month, a court allowed the Bank of India to auction some property owned by Kiplagat to recover a loan of Sh375 million advanced to his company three years ago.
The court dismissed the former Kanu operative’s bid to stop auctioneers from selling his parcels of land in Eldoret town, saying he failed to demonstrate how the lender violated his rights by seeking to sell the property to recover the debt.

One by one. Another one bite the dust. Dropping down like a non-motorized robot...booooom. Hosea Kiplagat, like his other Kalenjin thieves like Moi, Bargetuny, Salat, Ara Bii, Arap Too, Biwott, Lotondo, ... were part of the larger scheme to spread ethnic hatred, looting of public resources with impunity, korosharing all well-performing state parastatals, saturating public service jobs with the Kalenjins, while frustrating parastatal heads who made them successful. And thats why I love God's designs. Mali waliozipora, matungu uliowasababishia Wakenya waliokuwa na hatia, waliosambaratisha maisha ya Wakenya kiasi cha kuhamia nchi za nje, sasa malipo ndio haya. Kinachoajabisha ni kwamba wote hawa, wote hawa, wanafariki kutokana na magonjwa yanayowachuja chuja, kuwakereketa kereketa, na kudhoofisha dhoofisha afya yao kwa kufa vifo vya pole pole vya uchungu. Wangoje tu wakati wa mazishi yake, utawaona kina Uhuru, Raila, Ruto, Matavati, na wahujuma wengine wa uchumi wa Kenya, wakimsifu vile alivyokuwa mwanabisahra shupavu, mkulima nambari moja na Mkenya aliyeipenda nchi yake. Kweli????
They’re all dying.
Slowly by slowly.
Good riddance and RIP.
Sound like Covid-19.
RIP

If just "Last month, a court allowed the Bank of India to auction some property owned by Kiplagat to recover a loan of Sh375 million advanced to his company three years ago", this could be the High reason he Succumbed to Death. Sad!
