His body will arrive in Eldoret on Monday, October 17, at 10am for a community farewell service before the main funeral service on Tuesday.

He breathed his last Saturday morning, the family confirmed.

Family sources say he collapsed in his house and was rushed to Mediheal hospital parklands where he was pronounced dead.

He has been unwell for some time and was admitted to the hospital between late last year and early this year.

The former MP served the constituency between 2017 to 2022. He was elected as an independent candidate.

In 2022, his bid to defend the seat as an Independent candidate again flopped.

He lost to Samwel Chepkonga of UDA party.

Chepkut served as the personal assistant of the late Nicholas Biwott, who was a powerful minister during the late President Daniel Moi's tenure and later ventured into politics.
