Kibra MP Ken Okoth has shown his vulnerable side as he undergoes chemo treatment.

A concerned citizen using the twitter handle @WambuiBMW asked Ken, “Hallo Mheshimiwa @okothkenneth How are you fairing? You crossed my mind today. Am praying for your quick recovery.”

Ken responded by sharing a photo showing his drastic transformation.

“Napambana na hali yangu kabisa. Chemo drugs brutal on the skin and immunity system. #CancerAwareness #WeShallOvercome.”

@WambuiBMW encouraged him, “Pambana kabisa Mhesh. Yote itaisha. Mungu analinda watu wema kama Wewe. Tunakuombea maisha marefu.”
