Nairobi; Kenya: Kenyans learnt with deep sorrow the passing on of young Emily Chepng’etich, the daughter of Isaac Ruto, the Governor of Bomet County. I take this opportunity, on behalf of myself and my family, to express our very sincere sympathies to Isaac and his family. It has not been, and perhaps it will never be easy for Isaac and his family to accept this loss. We hope and pray that God gives them the strength for their anchor to hold as they weather this storm.
Let me, in the same spirit, congratulate Isaac for proposing to build a cancer centre in memory of his loving daughter. The fact that Deputy President William Ruto and CORD leaders Raila Odinga supported this initiative is highly commendable. Being a cancer victor myself, and knowing other Kenyans who have successfully been treated here and abroad for different type of cancers, our focus must be to prevent future generations from losing their lives unnecessarily due to lack of treatment for this awful disease.
