Kibra MP Kenneth Okoth is a man with a story that inspires many Kenyans. The 41-year-old MP has been battling colorectal cancer for some time but is still putting on a brave face and still working for his constituents.
A recent photo of his in Paris, France has elicited a lot of joy from Kenyans. From the photo in question, one can see the Eiffel Tower in the background, as he, Esther Passaris, and an unidentified white woman pose together.
The photos were posted on the Nairobi Women’s representative’s Twitter page. Her caption read:
Greetings from Hon. okothkenneth and his lovely wife Monica. Thank you Mheshimiwa for making time for my visit today. I know you can’t wait to return and get back in the saddle. We are all praying and rooting for you!
