Machakos County Senator Honourable Boniface Kabaka (pictured) has passed on at Nairobi Hospital
Honourable Kabaka was 5 days ago taken ill to the hospital after collapsing during a steamy sexual escapade with a teacher, Ms Ester Nthenya Muli.
Preliminary investigations showed that the Senator took tablets of Sildenafil Citrate (Viagra) before he collapsed.
Ms Muli was arrested by police to aid in investigations but was later released.
“Ms Muli was discharged from custody as there was no evidence linking her to the indisposition of Machakos Senator Boniface Mutinda Kabaka,” State prosecutor Joseph Irungu Gitonga told the media last evening.
“No evidence from the tests carried out on food and drink samples taken from Dee3 Hotel link her in the proposed charge of attempted murder charge,” Mr Gitonga said. “There is no case against Ms Muli.”
The hospital & family on Friday said the Senator died of Covid-19 complications.
Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua mourned him as an ‘astute lawyer and legislator’.
‘Senator Kabaka was an astute lawyer and legislator. Before he became Senator he had for a time served as my Government’s legal counsel. He was a lively man with strong dedication for the improvement of the welfare of the people of Machakos and Kenya. This is a big blow to us’, Governor Mutua wrote on his Twitter handle.
Heartfelt condolences to the family and the people of Machakos
