Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso Passes Away in Nairobi

Bomet Governor Dr. Joyce Laboso has passed away in Nairobi aged 58.

Dr. Laboso reportedly died while undergoing medication at Nairobi Hospital on Monday after a long battle with illness.

Her passing comes hours after Bomet County director of communication Ezra Kirui announced she had been placed on full bed rest following a recommendation by her doctors at the facility. Kirui also said doctors recommended limited visitation but noted that she was faring well.

 “The governor’s doctors have recommended she get enough rest for a speedy recovery and advise limited visits,” Kirui said in a statement.

“She acknowledges the overwhelming goodwill messages and prayers as she responds to treatment."

Dr. Laboso has been undergoing treatment at Nairobi Hospital's Intensive Care Unit (ICU) since she jetted back to the country on July 14th after a medical trip abroad.

Laboso had left the country for the United Kingdom on May 29th after handing over duties to Deputy Governor Hillary Barchok.
 

She spent six weeks at London's Royal Marden NHS Foundation Trust Hospital before she was discharged to seek further treatment in India.
