Deputy Governor Everlyne Aruasa yesterday fainted a few minutes into reading the governor’s speech during the third graduation ceremony of Maasai Mara University.

Ms. Aruasa who had read out a few paragraphs of the speech went silent for a couple of seconds before dropping her forehead against the microphone, and fell.

She was whisked away by security officers led by County Police Commander Abdi Galgalo to a stand-by ambulance, which rushed her to the university's clinic.
