Kenya is still reeling from the recent deaths of high-profile cancer patients like Governor Joyce Laboso and Kibra MP Ken Okoth. In the midst of this tragedy, Bishop Allan Kiuna has spoken out about his own battle with cancer.
According to Bishop Kiuna, he went through a difficult battle with the disease last year. He has expressed gratitude to God for seeing him through this challenging time.
Bishop Kiuna also extended his condolences to the families of late Kibra MP Ken Okoth and Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso. He prayed for God's strength in their hour of grief.
“I am so grateful to God for having seen me through a difficult battle with cancer last year. My heart goes out to the families of all who have lost their loved ones to the scourge. We are praying for God’s strength in your hour of grief,” Kiuna tweeted.
“May God comfort the family of Gov. Laboso. And May God comfort the family of Hon. Ken Okoth. We are praying for you for God’s grace in your hour of grief,” Kiuna added.
When he first opened up about battling a medical condition last year, Bishop Kiuna did not disclose what type of cancer he was suffering from. He took a sabbatical, spending months abroad undergoing treatment, before returning to the pulpit on July 8.
