Kisii County Assembly Member Kennedy Mainya died while being rushed to a hospital in Nairobi for further medical attention.
The MCA had been admitted at Oasis Specialist Hospital since October 29 but his condition deteriorated.
The doctors recommended that he be referred to Nairobi for further treatment.
Unfortunately, Mainya died on route in the Oasis Hospital ambulance that had reached Narok by that time.
Kisii County Deputy Governor Joash Maangi expressed his deep sorrow and articulated the deceased's great attributes after he learning about his death.
He said, "Mainya who has been serving in his second term was a soft-spoken, modest but formidably firm politician whose commitment and steadfastness to his people in his ward and in the county will be cherished for generations."
Maangi also passed his condolences to the late Mainya's family and friends.
"I wish to pass my condolences to his family and friends, and pray that they bear this grave loss with fortitude," added the governor.
Nyacheki representative Peter Nyaega was the first Kisii official to die in office in 2016, making Mainya the second.
