Government to offset deceased freedom fighter's Sh8 million hospital bill

Before his death, the freedom fighter had offered to lead a team to pinpoint where Kimathi was buried.

"We had been imprisoned with Kimathi when he was executed and forced to dig his grave. Even if constructions are made, we shall manage to spot the grave," said Kiboko.

President William Ruto agreed to the request and said that the government would offer the team the necessary support.

Brigadier Kiboko however fell ill days later and was rushed to the Nairobi Hospital where he was receiving treatment until his time of death.

The freedom fighter whose age at his death is estimated at 94 is said to have been suffering from organ failure related to old age.
