“He was a very fit person, since Covid began, he has been staying at home…He walks about 15 to 20 kilometres a day…he had never complained to me of any ailment, so we are actually concerned why he would have an acute kidney failure of sudden onset,” Midiwo’s brother said.
Jakoyo Midiwo died on Monday, July 14, 2021 after reportedly suffering an acute cardiac arrest.
He has been eulogized as a patriotic leader and a brilliant debater who fought for the rights of Kenyans during his time as a Member of Parliament.
