The Kenya Forum can confirm that former Cabinet minister Nicholas Biwott (77) has died earlier today at the Nairobi Hospital.

Biwott, who has not been well for some time, was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday morning where he died while receiving treatment.

His body has been moved to Lee Funeral Home.

The Kenyan media had in the past “killed” Biwott by reporting him dead on several occasions that the news of his demise were initially treated with skepticism.
