Ken Okoth, the Kibra Member of Parliament, has been away seeking medical treatment abroad for the past five months.
Despite his absence, his constituents have not been left in the dark, thanks to the efforts of Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi.
According to the ODM party, Wanyonyi has been the custodian of Kibra Constituency in Okoth's absence.
On July 9, 2019, the ODM party revealed this information on their official Twitter handle, following Okoth's return home and his first appearance in public at the weekend.
“Westlands MP @HonTimWanyonyi has been representing Kibra MP @okothkenneth in the Constituency for the period he was away for treatment. Yesterday he joined Ken for the annual Kibra Music Festival. This is the true spirit of brotherhood #MbelePamoja,” read the tweet.
Okoth had earlier revealed that he had been diagnosed with advanced Colorectal Cancer.
On Sunday, the MP attended the annual Kibra Music Festival accompanied by Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja and the Westlands MP.
