Migori Governor Okoth Obado has been taken ill at Kenyatta National Hospital private wing, it has emerged.
The embattled governor reportedly fell ill at his Industrial Area prison cell before authorities rushed him to the facility.
Mr. Obado has spent ten days at the Kenya's largest remand center after detectives linked him to controversial murder of Sharon Otieno.
It could not be immediately established what the governor is ailing from or the circumstances under which he was admitted.
This comes days after it emerged that Obado was being given preferential treatment at the Industrial Area prison, a claim with the prison boss Isaiah Osugo denied.
There were claims last week after he was thrown to Gigiri police station that he had collapsed but his lawyer Cliff Ombeta termed the information as 'propaganda'.
On October 8th, Mr. Obado will know his fate following a bond application he had made.
Also, his aides Michael Oyamo and Caspal Obiero will know their bond application fate having been charged with murder jointly.
Ms. Otieno will be buried on October 18th after the family established that detectives had made progress in the case.
