She vied to be governor of Kakamega on a Jubilee ticket but lost to Oparanya. She has had several functions in Kakamega the last three weeks planning to vie in 2022. Her donations to women groups, teachers unions, churches are unmatched in the county. Mabel has been a giver and half.
She has been on Ventilators and ICU for a week now and was at the Karen Hospital in NAIROBI.
She becomes the latest high profile leader from Kakamega county to die of covid.
A business man in Kakamega “s Amalemba Estate called Ken succumbed to covid last night. Robert Sumbi a right hand man of Gov Oparanya died yesterday due to covid. He was a minister and recently the chief of staff in Kakamega county govt.
Currently, two senior doctors from Kakamega are in ICU.

Available isolation centres in Kakamega County – Kakamega Referral Hospital and Likuyani – are already full. The county has since opened two other facilities – Mautuma in Lugari and Emanyala in Butere – to accommodate the rising number of patients.
“We now order law enforcement officers within the county, including police, to arrest anybody found breaking COVID-19 regulations including wearing of masks,” directed Governor Oparanya.
