Prior to the former MP’s death, the wife had also succumbed to COVID-19.

Following the demise of Ramadhan Kajembe, Health CS Mutahi Kagwe pointed fingers and faulted the children for failing to heed the government directives on self-isolation thus accused one of the children of spreading the virus home and killing the parents.

“He (the son) refused to self isolate which led to the infection of his sister and parents. Unlike him, they are elderly and as usual with underlying conditions so they were impacted more. As we speak, this family has lost the one elderly family member, the head of the household just two weeks after burying his mother,” Kagwe narrated.

The children thus demanded an apology for what they termed as stigmatization from the CS and threatened to take legal action.

The family further indicated that they acknowledged their parents died of COVID-19 but they should be accorded the respect to mourn their kins.

“It is unfortunate that a whole cabinet secretary can come out and issue a mere statement that a young man who brought coronavirus to his parents. We are urging the CS to withdraw the sentiments against my family,” one of Kajembe’s sons stated.

In the latest developments, the publication cites that at least four of Kajembe’s children had tested positive for COVID-19.

The MP reportedly had 16 children sired with his two wives.
