Bomet Governor Dr Joyce Laboso (58) has succumbed to cancer at the Nairobi hospital.

Laboso had been admitted at Nairobi Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit for less than two weeks after returning back to the country from India where she had gone to seek treatment.

 Joyce Laboso made history in 2017 after she became one of the three women to elected governors since Kenya ushered in the devolved system of governance.

Laboso takes a bow barely two days following the death of Kibra MP Ken Okoth, who also succumbed to cancer on Saturday.
