The Kibra MP has been battling colorectal cancer, he is currently receiving treatment in France.

In a past Interview, Okoth revealed: “The fear of the unknown that accompanies a cancer diagnosis is immense. Cancer changes your life completely.”

Now, Nairobi Governor, Mike Mbuvi Sonko, has pledged to sponsor a few Kibra residents to visit their MP.

On his Facebook page, Sonko announced, “I shall be willing to sponsor and lead a delegation of pastors, immams and a few Kibra constituents to visit him in France and pray for our beloved Mp. Get Well Soon Bro. Just continue believing in God.”

Sonko also added his voice to the ongoing debate on the cancer scourge.

“Cancer is really hitting us hard. The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart. However as a nation, it’s a high time we think of having a permanent solution of dealing with this serious disease,” he added.

Hon. Ken Okoth has been championing for the Legalization of Medical Marijuana & I believe he is one of the Best MPs Kenya has had. He can't just wake up one day & say something he has no Idea about. He's currently battling cancer & I wish him quick recovery. Hope it's legalized.
