The husband of Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed has died. 

Khalid Ahmed died on Thursday morning at around 5 am, in Karen Hospital, Nairobi, after a brief illness his family has confirmed.

Top ranking government officials and leaders rushed to Amina's home after hearing the news of her husband's demise.

This comes as a huge blow to CS Amina as losing her brother Esmael Mohammed Jibril is still lingering.

Jibril was a prominent city businessman who died in March 2021 while receiving treatment in India.
