Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso has returned to Kenya after weeks of receiving medical treatment in India and Britain. She arrived back in the country on Sunday, July 14, 2019, at around 9:00 am.
According to sources, Governor Laboso is still under medication and has not been cleared to resume her duties. Speaking at Deliverance Church in Mulot, Narok County, Bomet Deputy Governor Hillary Barchok said the governor is yet to be released by doctors to resume her duties.
Deputy Governor Barchok urged residents and the country to pray for Governor Laboso, who has responded well to medication. He noted that the governor's health is a family affair and should be respected as such.
On May 29, Governor Laboso left the country for Britain to receive treatment. She was admitted at the Royal Madden NHS hospital, where she underwent treatment for nearly a month. She was then transferred to India for further treatment three weeks ago.
During her stay in Britain, several high-profile visitors paid her a visit, including NASA leader Raila Odinga, Ambassador Manoah Espisu, Chief Justice David Maraga, and Kericho Governor Paul Chepkwony. Former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto also paid her a visit.
As Governor Laboso continues her treatment, the nation is urged to pray for her speedy recovery and return to her duties.
