Mr. Ndemo Nyagarama was condemned to life support at Nairobi Hospital as doctors struggled to restore his health in as many months now.

And a family source who spoke in confidence said the latest development has gripped anxiety in the first family.

"Mzee (Nyagarama) is really worried of his son's health. He is troubled but cannot travel from the US because he is also under medication.

"The health of the son has substantially deteriorated and I can confirm that he was put in life support," said the source.

Over the weekend, Nyagarama dismissed death rumours from a section of residents insisting that he is now stable.

"There are those wishing me death but I can assure you by God's grace, my health has improved," he said.

The ongoing predicaments within the county government has literally ignited bitter succession battles in which several politicians are plotting to take over after the ODM governor's tenure.
