Westlands MP Timothy Wanyonyi Wetangula is the latest Kenyan to pay a visit to Kibera MP and colon cancer warrior Ken Okoth in Paris, France.
Mr Wanyonyi posted a photo of the two all smiley and captioned it:
Sometimes we simply need to be there for others. Not to fix anything in particular, but to let them feel cared for and supported. Glad to have brought you some
#Kenyan warmth. By the grace of God you,@okothkenneth, will be back home soon.
In the photo, Ken Okoth is soldiering on, putting on a brave face even as he looks more frail than the previous photos he has posted and has shed some hair.

Thank you my big brother and mentor
@HonTimWanyonyi for dedicating this Easter weekend to cheer me up and keep me company. Was feeling homesick. You brought a sense of home to me with your visit. God bless.
