“We’re still seeking to establish what led to the death of our loved one, Priscah. We are yet to get answers for quite a number of questions,” the source said.


A close friend of her family’s intimated Priscah may have given up the fight with what they did not disclose.

“She might have given up the fight,” her close friend said.

Her body was later moved to the MP Shah Hospital mortuary in Nairobi.


Priscah was married to the flamboyant politician in 2015 and their union was blessed with three children before it came to a grinding end in 2018.

She worked as an administrator at the Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) until her sudden demise.
