Muthoni shared a poignant reflection, expressing deep sorrow over the loss of her father.
She recounted how she had visited him just the day before his passing, cherishing those last precious moments with him, though she hadn’t known it would be the final time they would be together.
“I have some sad news to share.
My father, who had been critically ill and hospitalized for the past few months, has passed away.
We brought him home where he was on oxygen, and yesterday I spent some time with him, not realizing it would be our last moment together. Rest in peace, Papa,” Muthoni wrote in her emotional tribute.
The Health PS did not disclose the exact nature of her father’s illness but expressed her gratitude for the time she had with him during his final days.
