Nkaissery’s wife admitted at Nairobi hospital after his sudden death
The widow of the late Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery, Hellen Pilale Nkaissery, has come out to share details of the CS’s last moments at their Nairobi home before he died on July 7, 2017.
The late Nkaissery, known to the public sphere as a no-nonsense professional, collapsed at his home in Karen after suffering a heart attack and was pronounced dead on arrival at the nearby Karen Hospital.
According to Hellen who describes her husband as jovial and “in very high spirits,” it was a regular evening at the Nkaissery homestead that day.
“I was at home and we were just the two of us and I had just travelled back from our country home. I was an evening like any other,” Hellen said on Saturday during an interview with Citizen TV.
“To my shock, he just woke up in the night and I saw him collapse. After rushing him to the hospital is when we were told (that he had passed away),” she told Victoria Rubadiri.
“From there I don’t know what happened because I also blacked out and the next day I found myself in the hospital. It was really shocking.”
Mrs Nkaissery went ahead to describe the period following her husband’s demise, saying it was characterised by shock, disbelief and confusion.
“After some weeks,” she said, “I came to the realisation that it had really happened. I was bitter, confused, and fearful, and it really put me down for almost two years.”
