Kisumu West MP Olago Aluoch found unconscious in his Kisumu home

Kisumu West MP Olago Aluoch was yesterday rushed to Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu after he was found unconscious at his residence in Riat, in the outskirts of town.

Senator Anyang’ Nyong’o (Kisumu) delivered the disturbing news about the condition of Ford-Kenya legislator to mourners who had turned up in the lakeside city to mourn the late Fidel Odinga at Jomo Kenyatta Sports Grounds.

The senator revealed that he had received a telephone call from his relatives informing him of Olago’s illness.

 “Olago is not able to be with us today because even as we speak, preparations are underway to fly him to Nairobi for specialised treatment,” said Prof Nyong’o.

 He continued: “We are praying for his quick recovery.”

 Nyong’o called upon Kisumu residents to pray for the MP as he receives treatment.

At the time of going to Press, The Standard on Saturday had learned that Olago was scheduled to be admitted to the Aga Khan hospital in Nairobi, but family members were not immediately available for comment.
