Despite earlier information that Ndemo Nyagarama, the first born son to Nyamira County boss John Nyagarama, died from acute meningitis, the family has yet again issued a contradicting statement.
Ndemo,44, died on Monday evening after months in Nairobi Hospital where he was reportedly in ICU.
And a statement by Council of Governors chair Josephat Nanok, clarified that Ndemo had died of cardiac arrest.
"The Council of Governors would like to send condolences to Governor John Nyagarama following the demise of his son.
"Mr. Ndemo Nyagarama succumbed to heart attack and we pray for our colleague this trying moments," read the statement.
Earlier, Nyamira Deputy Governor Amos Nyaribo had insisted that the governor's son succumbed to acute meningitis in his statement.
Until his death, Ndemo was a renowned entrepreneur and a strategist who helped his father successfully defend the Nyamira seat.
