Francis Kiambi Matanka cause of death

Francis Kiambi Matanka cause of death has left the community inconsolable.

On January 9, Matanka’s lifeless body was discovered in his Nairobi home early that morning.

After a little argument with his wife Mary Waigwe Muthoni regarding an Sh2 billion debt that he wanted her to guarantee, the late Kiambi was discovered dead in his bedroom.

After spending some time at an entertainment venue, Ms. Waigwe Muthini told police that she and her husband came home together around midnight. After the wife allegedly declined to be her husband’s guarantor to secure an Sh2 billion loan he was seeking to launch a business, the pair got into some marital disputes.

After their argument, the two went to separate bedrooms to sleep, but the 50-year-old politician-turned-businessman was later discovered dead with vomit on his bedside.

As police began their inquiries, Kiambi’s body was transferred to Lee Funeral Home.

His death’s cause has not yet been made public. Police are reportedly looking into the situation right now.

The police report reads,

“They each spent the night in different rooms and the deceased never woke up since then, but could be heard snoring throughout the day and night and had vomited in his bedroom. It was until today at around 0600hrs when she went to check on the deceased and she found him lying dead on his bed with some vomits beside the bed.”

“They called a doctor from the Karen hospital who confirmed the death at around 0902 hrs.”

The deceased was hospitalized in 2017 while running for the Tharaka Nithi senate seat after being hurt during a rally led by then-president Uhuru Kenyatta.

After the Uhuru rally, the politician was hurried to Chuka Boys High School to board his own helicopter. According to reports, the rider abruptly applied the brakes to prevent a fatal head-on collision with an approaching vehicle.

As a result, Matanka was knocked from the pillion and suffered severe knee damage. He was taken to a hospital in Nairobi and was later admitted.

In addition to being a successful businessman, Matanka was also a politician who ran for the Tharaka Nithi senatorial seat in 2017 but lost to the current CS Interior Kithure Kindiki. Until his sudden departure, Matanka has remained in business ever since.

Kiambi ran for Senator Tharaka Nithi County in 2017 but was unsuccessful. Terra Craft Limited was allegedly engaged in runaway tenderprenership before that.

IAAF Scandal

The major International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) scandal, in which money intended to aid this nation’s youngsters were stolen off by shady businesses and tenderpreneurs, involved Terra Craft Limited.

The Auditor General’s Report states that Terra Craft received a staggering Sh78 million payment even though it provided no goods or services and performed absolutely nothing.

The Ministry of Sports provided the funding, and the present PS specifically approved these dubious payments. The PS may find himself in the same situation as his former coworker Lillian Omollo, notwithstanding his dismissal of the Auditor General’s report as “fake.”
