Former Kenya-Stockholmer, Mr. Michael Osumba “In Critical Condition”
Mr. Michael Osumba: "In Critical Condition"
Mr. Michael Osumba, a Kenya-Stockholmer, is in critical condition in Kenya after suffering a second stroke attack. According to reports reaching KSB, Mr. Osumba has lost his ability to talk. “His condition is not good and we are very worried”, a contact who is close to Mr. Osumba told KSB. “Anything can happen”, she added.
When he left Sweden for Kenya about two years ago, Mr. Osumba appeared healthy and strong but after some months, he suffered a stroke which forced him into a coma for two weeks. When he emerged from coma, he lost his ability to walk, forcing him to remain on a wheel chair.
About two months ago, Mr. Osumba lost his mother in Kenya and that was after he lost his eldest daughter who was over 40 years old and who was a teacher in Kenya. Both the mother and the daughter succumbed to illness although his mother was advanced in years.
It is believed that the bereavements devastated Mr. Osumba and that the difficult circumstances could have resulted in his second stroke attack. Family members have requested that Kenyans, friends and well-wishers pray for Mr. Osumba.
Mr. Osumba is a very intelligent man and highly political. Before he left Kenya in the early 70s, he was very close to the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga who assisted him to proceed for further studies in the former Soviet Union. He later relocated to Sweden after failing to return to Kenya because the dictatorship of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta was harassing and intimidating Kenyans who studied in the former Soviet Union due to fear that they could spread communism in Kenya.

Kenya Stockholmer, Fanuel Okoth is Dead
Kenya Stockholmer Mr. Fanuel Okoth is dead. The Kenyan died last night in Kenya at his home village in Yimbo, Siaya district, where he has been recuperating following a stroke attack which left him half way paralysed.
Mr. Okoth, who was over 70 years old, came to Sweden in the 70s from the former Soviet Union where he was studying. At the time of his death, a group of Kenyans were planning to get him to Sweden so that he could get proper medical treatment.
After he suffered a stroke a few months ago, he was taken to a local hospital but he soon made a dramatic recovery, prompting his relatives to return him home for further care.
Mr. Okoth will be missed by Kenyans who knew him. He was very vociferous on various issues. His death comes barely a month after Mr. Onyango Sumba, a former Kenya-Stockholmer, passed away at Kenyatta National hospital. Mr. Sumba was buried last month.
