Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo Rushed to Hospital after Collapsing at a Funeral

Rarieda Member of Parliament Otiende Amollo was rushed to the hospital after he suddenly collapsed at a funeral in Alego Usonga, Siaya County on Saturday afternoon.

The MP was first taken to Bondo Health Centre for first aid before being moved to the Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu in a Kenya Red Cross ambulance.

His bodyguards blocked journalists from accessing the ward where he's admitted, but his personal assistant, Jeff Atweng’a confirmed the lawyer was in a stable condition.

He said the legislator will address the media in Kisumu once he is discharged. Sources said the MP had just addressed the mourners at the burial of a son to ex-Alego Usonga MP Oloo Aringo, when he collapsed.

"He collapsed on his chair and was rushed to Bondo where doctors stabilised him," a source told the Star.
