Dr Walter Mwanda, who was so close to Prof Magoha and who was allowed to speak to the media said that he had collapsed a number of times on Tuesday but the son could save him.

Prof Magoha had even told his wife that he was dying, but he would die as a happy and fulfilled man because he achieved all he wanted at 71.
Dr Mwanda is a senior doctor at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and he was at work when he received the distress call.

It is then that he asked another doctor to go on checking the patient and rushed to the former CS’s home in Lavington.
The deceased who was in the process of planning his brother’s burial is said to have collapsed as Dr Mwanda was attending to him.
“He collapsed and was successfully revived by his son, who is a medical doctor. However, shortly after being revived, he collapsed again while en route to the casualty section,” he reported
When that happened, they decided to carry him to his son’s car and rushed him to Nairobi Hospital, where he died while receiving treatment.
