News that Kalonzo's wife Pauline Kalonzo ,was to be moved to another facility for specialized treatment, informed the former's decision to cancel Saturday's trip from Germany to Kenya.
The NASA principal was scheduled to jet back on Saturday but has to reschedule his plans to Tuesday when he shall also attend funeral for Francis Nyanze, the former Kitui West MP.
For three months now, Pauline, has been undergoing treatment in Germany and Kalonzo's absence from the country was the reason why Raila Odinga's inauguration was suspended.
"The Wiper leader has deferred his coming home to Tuesday. He was supposed to come today ( Saturday) but doctors transferred his wife to another facility," said Dr. Jared Siso.
He further said: "He wanted to oversee the exercise and that is why he will stay until Tuesday. The wife is undergoing specialized treatment and that is why she was transferred."
A meeting scheduled for Sunday for NASA principals on the way forward was postponed to Wednesday, a day after Kalonzo's arrival.
His absence from the country has seen Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana represent him in high profile meetings.
