The family also said Ndiema had lost the ability to walk and talk, describing the period as one of the most difficult moments for his loved ones.
“At the moment, Tony has lost the ability to walk and talk, and this has been a very difficult moment for his family, friends and everyone who cares deeply about him. We continue to pray and trust God for his healing and full recovery,” Ndiema’s family added.
Before being transferred for specialised care, Ndiema had collapsed in Rongo and was rushed to Doctor’s Plaza Hospital before being moved to Mediforte Hospital in Kisii.
He remained unconscious and unresponsive as doctors conducted a series of medical tests, including a CT scan, lung tests and blood tests.
They had also recommended an MRI scan, but the family said financial constraints had delayed the procedure.
Despite all the financial attempts, the family announced the passing of the renown Ohangla Musician.
