Former statehouse comptroller of BudgetAbraham Kiptanui is dead, the family has confirmed.
The family in a statement says that Kiptanui passed away peacefully in Nairobi Hospital on the wee hours of Sunday morning in presences of family.
Kiptanui had been in hospital for the last couple of weeks before he passed on.
Kiptanui is one of the most powerful government official who served during the reign of the late President Daniel Araap Moi until his retirement in 1996.
There was confusion one week ago after President Kenyatta through statehouse Kenya social media pages send out a message of condolences to the family after it emerged that Kiptanui was still live.
President Kenyatta had described Kiptanui as a patriot and a hard-working man.
The Statehouse Kenya was forced to pull down the post after Kenyans trolled them for sending out confusing messages.
The family of the late Kiptanui has said funeral arrangements are ongoing and shall be communicated.
