Ndemo Nyagarama, a son to indisposed Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama, will now battle for his life at Nairobi Hospital at ICU.
At the moment, Mr. Ndemo is reportedly on life support after his Fungal Meningitis situation worsened in the facility which has hosted him for several months.
Coincidentally, Governor Nyagarama was also rushed to US on Friday where he is undergoing specialised treatment over failing limbs.
A family source who spoke in confidence, said the father has not been updated on the recent development for the fear that he may suffer from heart attack.
"He experienced difficulties in breathing and doctors recommended that he is put on life support. He was also complaining of chest pains," he said.
He added: "The father is currently in US and we have not briefed him on the latest development. His health can't allow us to do such a thing."
While the young Nyagarama has been hospitalised for close to four months, his father's situation worsened last week, days after missing out in Kakamega conference.
For easy coordination of activities in the county, Nyagarama has since handed over to his deputy Amos Nyaribo.
