She has been accompanied by her husband Edwin Abonyo, son Brian, niece Minah and an aide only identified as Joyce.
Her seeking medical attention in a foreign land was met with a lot of criticism who wondered why she did not entrust local doctors with her health.
“Raila Odinga visits Bomet governor Joyce Laboso who is famous for building brick bridge at a cost of Ksh6 million in London hospital because they have made Kenyan health facilities pathetic. In coming referendum, all pubic officer must be treated in local hospitals,” Dennis Maina wrote on Twitter.

Another tweep said, “Raila has visited Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso at a hospital in London where she’s undergoing treatment. The elites won’t prioritize local healthcare in their agenda coz when they’re sick they fly out. It should be a law that ALL civil servants Don’t fly out for treatment.”
“I wish Governor Joyce Laboso quick recovery as she gets treatment at a LONDON hospital. On that note, she couldn’t find a hospital worth her status in BOMET. So she’s in London on tax payers money. This tells so much about our leadership,” Karani Mutonga said.
