A relative of the late Mrs Joanne Argwings Kodhek, wife of Kenya’s first indigenous lawyer and first MP for Gem constituency Charles Michael George (CMG) Argwings Kodhek, is seeking former Prime Minister’s help to raise Sh4.5 million for a liver transplant in India.
Dr Clay Ngoye Omondo, a veterinary doctor was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in 2007, a complication of liver disease which involves loss of liver cells and irreversible scarring of the liver.
After graduating with Veterinary Medicine degree at the University of Nairobi, Ngoye only worked for eight months before the illness struck.
The liver problem has rendered him jobless and impoverished his parents because Joanne, who could possibly have footed bills, was battling cancer. She died in May this year.
Dr Ngoye is now bedridden at home after getting admissions in local hospitals through the support of doctors at KEMRI and leading physician Dr Amos Ochien’g Otedo.

For more than seven years he has been in and out of hospitals, which costs at least Sh10,000 per week. His family has been struggling to raise part of the money for his treatment.
A second opinion is required in India where he should go for further treatment. Ngoye has since relocated to his ancestral home in Got-Ramogi sub-location in Siaya County.
