Former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala has revealed that Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya is recuperating after visiting him at his residence.
In a social media post, Malala disclosed that he had the honour of visiting the former Kakamega Governor last evening, where they shared a cup of tea and discussed matters concerning Kakamega County and its development.
He said he was encouraged to find Oparanya in good spirits, upbeat and steadily recovering, although he did not disclose the nature of his illness.
Malala, an ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, praised Oparanya for his contribution to the development of Kakamega County, describing him as a father figure and a pillar of the region.
He credited the former governor with transforming the county through modern roads, street lighting, improved healthcare, agriculture, education and empowerment programmes targeting young people and women.
Malala also called on Kenyans to pray for Oparanya as he continues his recovery, wishing him renewed strength and good health.
“Get well soon, Omwami! Kakamega loves you and stands with you in prayer,” Malala wrote.
He further expressed gratitude to God for Oparanya’s life and service to the people of Kakamega.
