A video capturing Uasin Gishu Governor Dr. Jonathan Bii appearing to nearly collapse during a public function on August 13 is circulating widely, raising public concern amid silence from his office.
Eldoret, August 14, 2025 — A video capturing Uasin Gishu Governor Dr. Jonathan Bii appearing to nearly collapse during a public function on August 13 is circulating widely, raising public concern amid silence from his office.
At the launch of a new building—held in a religious setting—the governor is seen staggered mid-prayer, losing his balance. He was swiftly supported by bodyguards and escorted offstage.
As of now, Governor Bii’s office has not provided any statement regarding his health or the incident, prompting widespread speculation and concern.
The incident echoes past instances where public officials experienced health challenges during official duties:
Nderitu Gachagua, the late Nyeri Governor, continued public appearances despite battling pancreatic cancer, often appearing visibly frail.
Nicholas Biwott, a veteran politician, similarly exhibited signs of declining health at public events before his passing, though largely kept his health matters private.
Social media users have voiced growing unease, urging not only for the governor to prioritise his health but also for greater transparency from public officials regarding such incidents.
