Nyamira Governor John Nyangarama in the US for Medical Treatment As Eldest Son Passes Away in Kenya
Nyamira County Governor John Nyagarama’s son has passed away at a Nairobi hospital.
The family said Ndemo Nyagarama had been suffering from acute meningitis for long, which caused him severe chest pain and difficulties in breathing.
"He could not breathe with ease and has been complaining of chest pains. The situation was not good at all. Let him rest in peace," a family member told the Star.
Ndemo, who was Nyagarama's eldest son, died while receiving medical treatment at the Nairobi Hospital on Monday evening.
“We have received with profound shock the passing on of Ndemo Nyagarama, son to H.E. John Nyagarama, Gvn. Nyamira County this evening at the Nairobi Hospital due to acute meningitis.'
“The ODM family condoles with the family of Hon. Nyagarama & prays for God’s peace during this time,” a statement from the party’s official Twitter page said.
His death comes even as his father continue to receive treatment for a yet to be disclosed ailment in the United States. Governor Nyagarama traveled to the US for treatment about a month ago, leaving the county under the stewardship of his deputy Amos Nyaribo.

Kenya's medical services shall never improve because when you look all the senior most officers employed on public funds always travel to countries who have put their medical houses in order for treatment and it is because it is you and me who are paying for it but when you and me get sick we shall die in the local hospitals unattended for lack of services and medications.

He should have gone to Germany. MOST Doctors in the US (especially their Nurses and CNAs) are so ILL Trained and even Mannerless snd Disrespectful to boot). Remember the Dancing She-Doctor whose License was "Yanked Away" 3 days ago in Georgia for Dancing in the Operation room? Thats what I am Talking about.

God help his family and may the son rest in peace. These politicians must start investing in Kenyan hospitals while they are alive and well.Kenyans have to start thinking otherwise we will for ever work throughout our lives but when our lives are about to end, we will unwillingly write our will to foreign hospitals, meaning we still remain slaves. How many are going to the U S for treatment? How many are going to India for treatment? How many are going to South Africa for treatment? We have to ask how much of Kenya's wealth is being taken to this countries because of poor planning by our government and our politicians? By paying airlines and hospitals that we don't own. And how many more are sick and have not said a word. Remember for those countries "By creating dependency, they create power and need for themselves" . Let our leaders wake up, and start planning there is time. All we have to remember is no one can fully eliminate anything that they did not create. Politicians, start building, supporting, improving, contributing and writing wills to local hospitals which will help you and posterity
