Ruto’s Cabinet Secretary Hospitalised, Undergoes Surgery
Ruto’s Cabinet Secretary Hospitalised. Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome on Wednesday failed to appear before the Senate plenary after she was summoned to appear before the house to respond to questions in regards to her ministry.
Confirming the incident was Senate Speaker Amason Kingi who stated she would not be able to physically present herself at the chambers to respond to questions from the lawmakers.
According to Kingi, he received information that the CS had suffered swollen eyes and thus could not see properly.
She had also undergone an optical surgery not more than three days ago.
Kingi stated,”We expected two CSs this morning for purposes of answering questions as portrayed on the Order Paper. However, I have since received a communication from CS Lands that she will not be able to attend today’s session for purposes of responding to questions concerning her ministry because she is indisposed,”
”I had a phone call discussion principal secretary in the ministry who explained what the problem is. The honourable CS underwent eye surgery three days ago but by yesterday, she was willing to appear today but woke up with a swollen eye this morning, she cannot even see,’’
”She cannot even see and that is why she registered her regrets that she will not be able to be with us today,” the speaker added.
