Sam Ongeri hospitalised after he collapsed at home

Kisii, Kenya: Kenya's envoy to UN-Habitat Prof Sam Ongeri has been admitted to Oasis Hospital in Kisii. A close family member said the Ambassador was taken ill after he collapsed on Saturday morning.

"He is in a stable condition but we are making arrangements to airlift him to Nairobi," said the family sources. 

Hospital records indicate that the former Education minister was admitted around 9.30am on Saturday.

Former Nyaribari Masaba MP Dr Hezron Manduku visited the Ambassador in hospital.

Ongeri was among the delegation that accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta to New York early last week.
