We all want to believe that there are cancer survivors and it’s not necessarily that one succumbs to the killer disease. Kibra MP Ken Okoth has been battling cancer for a while, the same Cancer that took Bob Collymore and continues to take about 90 Kenyans daily. Okoth who is receiving medical treatment in Europe paid a courtesy call to Prof. Judy Wakhungu, Kenyan Ambassador to France, Portugal, Monaco and Serbia.
Courtesy call from Hon. Ken Okoth (Kibra). He updated us on many issues including his impressive education projects & his plans for increasing them to reach many students. He is also keen to use Sports Diplomacy to expand his students’ horizons. @okothkenneth #KenyaInFrance pic.twitter.com/HsVnmgdvB5

However, it is his heartbreaking photos that prompted to starting sending him quick recovery as well as cursing the killer disease. Kibra MP was diagnosed with cancer and he has been battling with the deadly disease to survive. Ken Okoth has been known to be a hardworking and honest leader, while other leaders hide when seeking treatment abroad, Ken has always been fighting cancer together with Kenyans.
In recent years, at the turn of 40, when life literally begins, the inimitable politician added another title to his checkered public life – a cancer warrior! It is in the above tweet by Prof Judi that got Kenyans cheering Okoth to keep fighting. Below were a few Kenyans reactions;
