NAIROBI, Kenya Dec 11- Machakos Senator Boniface Kabaka is dead.
The legislator passed on while receiving treatment at Nairobi hospital.
He has been admitted at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) since last week when he fell unwell while in a night meeting with a woman.
The Senator had complained of a severe headache when he was rushed to hospital.
“On behalf of myself and the people of Machakos, I pass my condolence to the family of our beloved Senator Boniface Kabaka who has gone to be with the Lord due to the effects of a stroke arising from a blood clot that has been bothering him for a while,” Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua said.
“Senator Kabaka was an astute lawyer and legislator. Before he became Senator he had for a time served as my Government’s legal counsel. He was a lively man with strong dedication for the improvement of the welfare of the people of Machakos and Kenya. This is a big blow to us.”
The woman was released from police custody on Wednesday, after she was granted a personal bond.
Detectives had earlier been granted 7 days to conclude an attempted murder probe.
Sources told Shahidi News that drink and food samples collected from the Elgeyo Marakwet road apartment did not have traces of poison.
