Kitui West Member of Parliament Francis Nyenze caused a stir in Parliament after he showed up to take the oath of office with an oxygen tank.
The former National Assembly Minority leader was clearly determined to be sworn in, not even his current medical situation could keep him from the crucial occasion.
The Wiper Party legislator was experiencing laboured breathing as he read out the oath but he managed to complete his task and even walked away from the podium to allow for the next legislator to be sworn in.
Details on Nyenze's health condition are still scanty.
There have been a number of legislators who made it through the electioneering period at the face of health challenges.
