In August 2015, news broke that a
former MP had been admitted to Eldoret's Moi Teaching and Referral
Hospital's private wing and was in dire need of cash to clear his
medical bill.
Former Busia North MP Oduya Oprong' had been rushed to the hospital after his health deteriorated at his Angurai home in Busia County's Teso North subcounty.
Oprong', since 1994, has lived a miserable life- journeying between his home and hospital- following an attempt on his life.
He was shot in the head at his Nairobi home as he prepared to start a 480 kilometres journey to his constituency where he had a fundraiser to attend.
In an interview in 2015, he narrated how the June 1994 incident turned-around his life.
"I was in the house along with my daughters in Mariakani estate in Nairobi," he said, "After the 7pm news, I got into my car, but as I reversed the vehicle, unknown gunmen shot me in the head."
He was rushed to the Nairobi Hospital for treatment but when his condition deteriorated, he was flown to London in a coma.
Later, he was airlifted and transferred to Maryland Hospital in the US where doctors successfully removed one of the bullets that was lodged in the head.
The doctors, however, advised that removing the bullet remaining at the back of the head would end his life. He was treated and discharged.
Since then, the once powerful assistant minister and ally to Kenya's first Vice President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga has lived with the bullet tacked in his brain.
The condition has left the 80 year-old frail and at one point he suffered a stroke that almost ended his life.
He currently lives in a dilapidated house in Angurai village in Busia County.
Three weeks ago, thanks giving prayers were held in remembrance of the 1994 incident which closed doors to his political dreams.
Some of the country's top leaders including Cord leader Raila Odinga, former Presidents Daniel arap Moi and Mwai Kibaki, former Attorney General Charles Njonjo, former Cabinet Minister John Keen and former Assistant Minister J D Otiende were scheduled to attend.
Oprong' remains one among the few surviving former MPs who sat in Kenya's independence Parliament of 1963.
He served as Labour Assistant Minister after he founded the Kenya Quarry and Mine Workers Union before joining the Economic Planning Ministry in 1993 as an assistant minister while serving as MP for Busia North (currently Teso North).
During the 2015 interview, he narrated how his close friends abandoned him after retreating to his rural home following the shooting.
"The attack changed my life and even those who were once my close friends and held key positions in government
