The death of Bomet governor Joyce Laboso to cancer three months ago shocked many but the worst hit was her husband Edwin Abonyo and her kids.

Being hospitalized saw the bill rise to 2 million and despite the government promising to pay the family is still receiving claims of unpaid bills.

Abonyo said while he tried to clear all the hospital bills with the help of the state and friends, it is not yet done.

He said with his son Brian, they were recently surprised to receive communication from the London hospital demanding Sh2 million arrears.

"Together with my son, we cleared with the hospital, so we were surprised to have the bill.

"I however told them that we actually lost the patient, and since then they went silent. So we don't know whether they will pursue it or let it slide," added.

CAS Rachel Shebesh, governors Anne Waiguru and Charity Ngilu, he said, also proved genuine friends.

Asked whether his new appointment to the state parastatals oversight board was a move by the President to wipe his tears, he said;

"If it is so, I'm grateful. If not so, I'm even more grateful."
