Ailing Kibra MP Ken Okoth admits that he feels homesick due to his prolonged absence from the country.
The second term ODM MP is undergoing treatment at a Paris hospital and first made his cancer condition few months ago. He said he was in Stage Four, which is considered as most delicate.
On Wednesday, Okoth admitted that his prolonged absence is making him nostalgic, adding that such effects are however minimised through friends who visit him.
"Thank you my big brother and mentor @HonTimWanyonyi for dedicating this Easter weekend to cheer me up and keep me company. Was feeling homesick. You brought a sense of home to me with your visit. God bless," wrote Mr Okoth.
Westlands MP Timothy Wetangula, who had visited Mr Okoth over Easter, said it was paramount for friends to continue visiting and encouraging him to fight hard.
"Sometimes we simply need to be there for others. Not to fix anything in particular, but to let them feel cared for and supported. Glad to have brought you some #Kenyan warmth. By the grace of God you, @okothkenneth, will be back home soon," he said.
A fortnight ago, a section of social media users erroneously reported Okoth's death, minutes before he surfaced online to dismiss the report. He urged users to tread carefully.
The 12th parliament already lost Francis Nyenze, Grace Kipchoim and Ben Oluoch to cancer. Former President Daniel Moi's son Jonathan Moi also succumbed to cancer last week.
