Malava MP Moses Malulu Injendi, who died Monday at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, had lost his elder brother Samuel Injendi just a day before.
Samuel died while undergoing treatment at the Kakamega County General Hospital on February 16.
The MP’s death occurred just as the family was organising a fundraiser to foot his elder brother's hospital bill. Samuel's burial plans were yet to commence.
The harambee was scheduled to take place on Wednesday February 19, ahead of his burial on Saturday.
Samuel, 80, was a retired prisons officer and had been ailing for some time.
Chemuche ward representative Geoffrey Sikolia said the activities which had been lined up for his funeral will proceed as earlier planned even as the family mourns the loss of his MP brother.
