Former Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha has opened up on the challenges she is enduring months after she was sent home alongside her colleagues.
Nakhumicha implied that life had been hard for her after her name was featured on the list of National Executive members to be sacked at the height of the Gen Z protests in July this year.
Addressing mourners at the funeral service of Bungoma governor Ken Lusaka's mother on Friday, October 18, Nakhumicha asked for prayers.
"You sleep a CS, you wake up not one; you sleep a deputy president, you wake up not one. We leave everything to God. Bishop, pray for me. It is not easy, having been a minister, then suddenly, you are just a Nakhumicha. You know my name is unique; when you mention it, many know it is the Health CS. Pray for me," she said.

On July 11, Ruto sent home all Cabinet Secretaries and Attorney General Justin Muturi, citing feedback from an unimpressed Kenyan public.
This was in light of the fervent revolt of the Kenyan youth, who had routinely taken to the streets to express their disapproval of the current regime.
Only Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi was spared in the purge.
The president reconstituted his government a month later, incorporating officials from the opposition.
Ruto mentioned that the new government composition would assist him in accelerating and expediting the implementation of the Kenya Kwanza government program, including other radical measures and programs to address the burden of debt, raise revenue, create job opportunities, eliminate wastage and unnecessary duplication of government agencies, and combat corruption.
