On Sunday morning, medics at the facility asked the family to organize for his treatment in Nairobi.
Kisii County Assembly Deputy Speaker Davins Onuso described the late Mainya as a dedicated servant of the people and an active legislator who also served in the speaker's panel.
"I have lost a friend a colleague and one of the Hon. Members in the speaker's panel! Mainya was an honest leader who stood for what he believed was right. He was among the leaders who relentlessly advocated for the development of his ward with the most recent statement in the house of the state of roads in his wards.
"I shall miss him. My condolences to the family; Kiamokama ward and Kisii county assembly," condoled Onuso.
