Kijana Wamalwa's Son Dies

The son to the late Vice President Michael Kijana Wamalwa has died.

According to reports, William Makali Wamalwa Senior passed on Sunday, December 8, at their Milimani home in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County.

Confirming his passing, Robert Wamalwa revealed that his nephew was diabetic and the condition was the likely cause of his demise.

"My nephew was diabetic and probably that might have led to his death but, of course, [when] the official autopsy report [is out] we will be able to know what happened," Wamalwa as quoted by the Nation.

Robert further addressed reports on social media that William had passed due to depression, alcoholism and drug abuse.

"It is far from the truth. It really very unfair and people should not capitalise on something like that. They should have a sense of decorum and respect to the family and the dead," he conveyed.

William was a second-year student at the University of Nairobi at the time of his death.
