Lugari MP Ayub Savula is mourning the death of his father Mzee Arthur Simon Angatia who died on Saturday evening while undergoing treatment at an Eldoret hospital.
Confirming the death, Savula said his father died at about 6:10pm after battling with prostate cancer for the last seven years.
Savula said the late Mzee Angatia was diagnosed with prostate cancer at Aga Khan hospital in Nairobi in 2013 where he was admitted Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for two weeks before he was discharged after getting stable.
He said thereafter he has been receiving treatment at the facility on several occasions whenever his situation worsened before he was later referred for a follow-up medication at the Cancer Texas Center in Eldoret.
Savula said his father’s condition worsened on Saturday 23rd May 30, 2020 before he was rushed to Medihill hospital where he was admitted in ICU.
On Friday 29th May 2020 his condition improved and was moved from ICU to a ward but he became critically ill again on Saturday morning before he succumbed later in the evening.
Mzee Angatia, who has died at the age of 73 years was a businessman, and once served as a village elder and a pastor at Majengo Church of God in Lumakanda ward.
