A video of Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii emerged, appearing to nearly collapse during a public event on August 13.
The footage, reportedly taken at the launch of a new building, shows the governor standing alongside a crowd of attendees, some dressed in religious attire.
As a religious leader leads a prayer session, Governor Bii is seen staggering and almost losing his balance.
Men standing next to him, including his bodyguards, quickly rushed to hold him up and prevent him from falling to the floor.
In a video obtained byKenyans.co.ke,the men were seen escorting then escorted him away from the crowd.
As of now, Governor Bii’s office has not released an official statement regarding the incident or his current health status.

Nderitu Gachagua
In 2016, former Governor of Nyeri, Nderitu Gachagua, who was battling pancreatic cancer, was known to have health scares and was often seen looking frail in public.
He reportedly risked his health to attend a Senate hearing in Nairobi to defend himself against an impeachment motion, foregoing a scheduled therapy session in London to do so.
While he did not collapse on a stage, his declining health was a public matter as he continued to perform his duties.
