For Machakos Senator Boniface Kabaka, what started as a lonesome drive to an apartment in Nairobi has now turned into an epic fight for his life after he fell seriously ill.

Mystery surrounds what happened between him and a woman he was with at the apartment, and who is currently in police custody.  

It all started last Thursday afternoon when Kabaka drove himself to the house in the upmarket Kilimani estate. He was unaccompanied - no bodyguard and no driver.
