Fresh details have emerged showing that Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery was on Friday night rushed to hospital after he collapsed in his home.
According to the Standard, his security detail and family members said the CS had just taken dinner with the family, done his regular exercises before collapsing and being rushed to Karen Hospital.
At the hospital, he was pronounced dead on arrival.
It is believed he suffered from a heart attack.
“I have spoken to his closest bodyguard who says they were together, and whenever he goes home he engages in exercises before retiring to bed. And he did that and even had dinner with his wife, so falling down and being taken to hospital, whether it is cardiac arrest, he had not showed any signs,” said Kajiado Senator Peter Mositet.
However, a statement from the Head of the Civil Service Francis Kinyua revealed that the CS died in hospital where he had been taken for a medical checkup.
“He passed on after being admitted for a check-up,” he said.
“The country to be updated as more information becomes available,” Kinyua added.
On addressing the controversy in the information at the Lee Funeral Home, Kinyua cautioned Kenyans against speculations.
“Let us not speculate, let us wait for the postmortem report.”
