CONDOLENCE MESSAGE FOR THE LATE EXECELLENCY GOVERNOR DR. JOYCE LABOSO
It is with great sorrow that we have learnt of the passing of our sister Her Excellency Governor Dr. Joyce Labaso that took place this afternoon following a long battle with Cancer. Governor Laboso has been in Nairobi Hospital receiving further treatment after she came back from India. Cancer has robbed us again of a great leader. Indeed, both levels of Government must now have a serious conversation on the prevention and treatment of cancer.
The Late, was the first female elected Governor of Bomet County.
We as the Council of Governors have lost a very brilliant leader who was the Chair of the Education Committee. Governor Laboso was also the former Chair of the Finance and Economics Committee. She had a passion and zeal to serve the people of Kenya having been a former member of parliament for Sotik Constituency.
On behalf of the Council of Governors and the County Governments, I would like to convey our heartfelt condolences to our late Sister’s family, relatives, friends and more so, the people of Bomet county. May our prayers serve as comfort for you and your loved ones at this trying time.
H.E. Hon. FCPA Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya, EGH, CGJ
