Mr. Wycliffe Alumasa is said to could have collapsed and died at his home in Shikangania village, Lurambi Constituency, after ailing for just a week.
Alumasa worked with the Kakamega County General Hospital and the ongoing nationwide health workers strike might have accelerated his demise.
It is reported that Alumasa had difficulty in breathing before he died.
